Additional information
I have represented the residents of Goodshaw ward as a Labour Councillor since 1999. The role involves representing all local residents, regardless of their political persuasion. I particularly enjoy taking up individual queries, getting a positive result is probably the most rewarding aspect of the work.
I live in Crawshawbooth with my partner Paul and Max our lovely Labrador dog.
