Hello. I was elected as a County Councillor in 1993 for the Electoral Division of Chorley Rural North (which covers Clayton North, Clayton West, Brindle and Hoghton) to serve the interests of all residents, regardless of political persuasion.

I am a member of the Conservative Party and 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 although you can visit related external websites by selecting some of the links to be found on this site.
