I am the only independent voice to represent the interests of my local community.

Full statement

I have no political affiliation so I can do what's best for my constituents at a local level.

I live in Barlaston and I am a semi-retired senior school leader who now runs a small but popular gardening service. Prior to retraining, I spent a decade as a sub-contractor in the construction industry. I have connections through my business and my civic duties with Stone, Swynnerton, Blythe Bridge and Yarnfield. My wife and I enjoy walking in and around all the beautiful villages in our area.

I will be your local representative on issues including inappropriate development on the Green Belt, derelict buildings, properly fixing pot holes, flood prevention, investing in our young people, safe public spaces, and our potential amalgamation with other wards, boroughs and unitary authorities.

No procrastination - let's get things done.
