Full statement

He was elected as city councillor for Summertown (now Cutteslowe & Sunnymead) in North Oxford in 2014 and re-elected in 2016, both times with a healthy majority.
He is Leader of the LibDem Group on Oxford City Council, Leader of the Opposition and Chair of Scrutiny on Oxford City Council. Like all LibDems Andrew works hard for his constituents. He is a school governor in an academy trust, board member of two community associations and chair of trustees of a small but hugely successful arts-based charity in East Oxford, providing opportunities to young, disadvantaged and vulnerable people. At a policy level, Andrew has played a leading role in developing a distinctive LibDem approach to questions which affect real people, such as inequalities, social exclusion, and housing.
Andrew’s professional background is in music. He teaches at University level and is the author of a number of books on musical topics. He is married to Kathy, a scientist, and they have three teenage children.
