INTRODUCTION
I have always lived locally to Old Warley so I have been familiar with the area all my life. In fact I have relatives and many lifelong personal friends that live in the Ward. Since my election I have done my best to favourably represent our Ward on the important Council Committees and also other outside bodies that I am a Member of. I have consistently helped individuals with their many and varied casework requests that I regularly receive through my advice surgery, telephone and other contacts.
Over the last few months I have made efforts to try to ensure that state retired pensioners are made aware of the free and confidential service offered by the Welfare Rights Department of the Council. They have experts who are able to assess an individuals situation and determine whether they are claiming all the benefits and help they are entitled to. (Telephone them on 0121 569 3158)
I consider myself privileged to be your Councillor and I hope to continue doing my best for all the electorate of Old Warley.
