I have lived in East Herts for over 35 years and have been a County Councillor for eight years.

Married, and a retired secondary school teacher, I have also worked in industry in a managerial capacity.

A governor of two local schools and a supporter of local societies my relaxations are gardening, reading and watching cricket. I am president of Much Hadham Cricket Club.
· As a councillor I attend as many parish council meetings as possible to hear and act upon local concerns.

· In my role as Chairman of Herts Rural Forum and a member of East of England Rural forum, I have worked to protect those living and working in East Herts, especially with regard to fly tipping and theft.

· I have always pressed the Police Authority for more police to combat anti-social behaviour and will continue to do so.

· I have supported and lobbied for schemes that protect towns and villages from excessive traffic.

· As vice-chairman of Environment Scrutiny Committee, I brought the GM debate and the Regional Spatial Strategy into the public arena.

· I am totally opposed to a second runway at Stansted and totally reject the housing numbers proposed for East Herts by the Regional Assembly and the erosion of the green belt.
