I have represented Southfield Ward since the 2011 elections. I have lived in the area for over 30 years and am currently the Chair of the Environment & Open Spaces and the Tree Committees. I care a great deal about the local street scene, litter and dog fouling issues and I like to tackle the big issues that concern local people. I have made efforts to help maintain/protect local trees in the Conservation Area and seek to maintain the lovely street scene in the Southfield Area. I have been the Chairman/Mayor of Hessle Town Council in 2015-2017. I am married with a grown up child and am currently fostering a 12 year old child.
