I hope to make a difference by:

bringing people and groups together
being a voice for young people, as well as the youth services and voluntary organisations that do important work in our community.
looking at the bigger picture and building long-term relationships with local businesses and community organisations

What people appreciate about me as a councillor:

I try to engage with council officers to understand different issues and situations that I may not be an expert on
I value innovative thinking
I always try and see other points of view, and make fair and balanced judgements

As a councillor, it is important to me that I:

balance my councillor workload with my day job, and I recognise that this can be challenging at times
encourage communities to get more involved in local projects, for example, litter-picking in their area or volunteering.
feel like I’m able to make a difference, no matter how small

I joined the Parish Council nearly three years ago. I have lived in the village for 4 years, married to Nicky my wife, have two grown up children, both married with five grand-children between them. Oh and two golden retrievers, Millie and Marbles!

I had been a councillor where I lived previously and found the role varied and interesting, so it was a natural progression for me to investigate joining the P.C. here in Bidford.

I don't pretend to have the knowledge of the area or of the people who live here yet, as do some of my fellow Councillors, but I try and make up for that by making myself accessible to everyone listening to their views and, where possible, instigate some action to resolve the matter.

My personal aim for 2026, is to involve the residents in Bidford with more decision making with reference to how we spend your money. We don't have enough involvement with the people we represent which of course,works both ways!

If you see me walking my two dogs or in the Co-Op, please say hi or even better, come and see us on market days, last Saturday of the month, where the Council has a dedicated gazebo.
