I was elected as a Member for Central Ward in May 2007. Over the years I have acquired a range of interests relevant to my role as a Councillor. I have worked in the voluntary, private and public sectors and have been a volunteer with the Samaritans and Victim Support. In the mid 1980's I was a road sweeper and feel strongly that basic services like this are what the public demand of a good Local Authority. I aim to represent all Ward residents and hope that I fulfil the role of Local Councillor to the satisfaction of all who call upon my assistance.

I believe passionately in local Politics and its capacity to make real positive change for local people. I also believe that value for money is essential and that the public who pay for services via Council Tax do not feel cheated.

A healthy Democracy begins with a healthy Local Democracy.

He also represents the Council on the Boston Citizens' Advice Bureau Management Committee and the Peter Paine Sports & Leisure Centre Management Committee.
