Your Labour Candidate for St Peter (County Ward)

Following 40 years working in environmental protection and the energy sector (latterly as Director of Strategic Development for a regulatory authority) I am now proud to call myself a carer for my wife and my autistic granddaughter, as well as supporting my adopted children. I also undertake voluntary work, helping with gardening and preparing and serving meals.

Political cynicism continues to rise. To counter those who seek to sow doubt and undermine trust, local politicians need to actively demonstrate to people, especially younger people, that we care about them, not ourselves.

This is why I want to help Worcestershire grow and diversify, attracting and growing industries such as education, clean energy and the creative sector. I also intend to use my experience of working with social services and special needs education to press for urgent improvements in service delivery in our community and to advocate for those who need support.
