I have lived in Tadley since moving here in 1969 with a
young family.

Full statement

I joined Tadley Town Council in 1983
wanting to improve facilities for my young family and
fellow residents.I have been re-elected to the Town
Council ever since and for two periods was also a
Borough councillor for Tadley.
As a Town Councillor I have served as Chairman on
several occasions, each time making a difference to the
facilities and improving the environment. I was a
founder member of Tadley Citizens Advice and still
serve as a trustee. I am Chair of Governors at the
Bishopswood schools and also Chair of Barlow’s Park
community football ground which I helped to deliver
for the community in 2008. As you can see I believe in a
hands on role feeling that you get out what you put in.
I have had a varied career, working for the Automobile
Association, a Housing Association and finally, for 18
years for the Environment Agency where I led on
community engagement and media communications
until I retired last year.
My long time interest in environmental issues
encouraged me to become an unpaid Director of
Calleva Community Energy installing solar on roofs
locally. Having introduced Tadley Spring Clean week I
have continued to promote green issues now through
engagement with the Tadley Environment Group.
