Section 3: Community Involvement
I am Vice-chairman and trustee of Wyre Forest District Scout Council. Vice-president and Trustee for 7th Wyre Forest Scout Group and a trustee and acting Group Scout Leader for 6th Wyre Forest Scout Group. I am Vice-chairman of Wolverley and Cookley Parish Council. I meet regularly with Community Housing and the neighbourhood policing team for Franche and Habberley North, where we walk ‘the patch' and engage with residents where necessary.
Section 4: Assisting Constituents
After nearly completing my third year as a Councillor I have enjoyed meeting with residents on a face-to-face basis as well as responding to all calls, emails and text messages.
I have worked closely with my ward colleagues Councillor David Ross and Councillor George Connolly and have engaged regularly with Community Housing and the neighbourhood policing team for Franche and Habberley North, where we walk ‘the patch' and engage with residents where necessary.
With my ward colleagues I deliver a regular newsletter to all households in the ward. At least three editions are produced each year. I also post regularly on Facebook.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
This is my third report as a Councillor and I have spent almost two years in post as part of the cabinet as cabinet member for operational services. It has been a fantastic experience working with a great team of officers at the depot and being part of the core decision making team for the council. We have been able to progress many projects across the district and we are already starting to deliver on our corporate plan. I was also delighted to be made deputy leader of the council in May 2024. It is a real honour to be able to represent my residents in Franche and Habberley North.
