Activities
During my first year as a Wyre Forest District Councillor I have dealt with several queries and problems from ward constituents. I have attended both the Audit and Planning (Enforcement) Committees as well as deputising for colleagues on other committees. Being a Stourport Town Councillor I have attended meeting and functions in that role as well.

Achievements During the Year
My main achievement during the year has been getting to grips with how the Council operates and the function and personnel within.
After running my own business for 20 years working within the public sector has different demands and expectations. I have tried to put into practise what I learnt during those years.
Members' Surgeries
Working closely with my fellow Councillor Nigel Thomas in Areley Kings, local constituents have easy access to both of us and we help each other where necessary.
