Welcome to my website

I am the elected County Councillor for the Electoral Division of Pendle East  (covering Trawden, Winewall, Cottontree, Wycoller, Lidgett, Bents, Laneshawbridge, Foulridge, Higherford, Blacko and Horsefield Ward in Colne) and will serve the interests of all residents, regardless of political persuasion. I  am, however, a member of the Conservative Party and I take an active interest in a number of national and local campaigns. It would not be appropriate for me to use this website to promote these campaigns but you can visit related external websites by selecting some of the links to be found on this site.
