Statement to voters

I have lived in the Derwent Valley for nearly 40 years.

Full statement

I am a former journalist and communications consultant. Before I retired in 2021, I ran my own business for 18 years. I've been a university lecturer, a charity trustee and chairman, and a non-executive director of two local NHS Trusts. I am often seen around my local village picking litter which seems to have inspired several young people to follow my example. I have been involved in campaigns to save the beautiful Derwent Valley Country Park from a madcap railway reinstatement scheme and am working to bring the services of an electric vehicle car club to my village.

This statement was last updated on May 30, 2024.

This statement was added by Richard Edwin Simpson, their team, or by a Democracy Club volunteer, based on information published by the candidate elsewhere.
