For the year May 2023-2024 I have been elected to be the Mayor of Bromley.
I have lived in Chelsfield for 30 years and Bromley Borough for 40 years. Using local facilities such as the railway, hospitals, schools, roads and buses I am aware of the pressures that you encounter and the frustrations that can sometimes occur. However we do live in a great ward and things are far from bad, we have a vast area of open green space that I am keen to preserve and indeed have been keen to use myself. This is important to the community and environment.
I am married to Kim and have four children who were educated in local schools; two still live at home giving me an insight into the needs of our young voters?
I have always had an interest in what happens locally and, having retired as a chief inspector of police in 2016, I now have the opportunity to get involved. I am a member of several local groups including the Green Street Green Village Society, Safer Neighbourhood Panel and am a Governor of a local school.
I am a Council member of the Public Protection and Enforcement PDS (Policy, Development and Scrutiny) as well as Deputy Chairman of the Rights of Way Committee.
Outside bodies:
Member of the Bromley Arts Committee & President of the Orpington Sea Cadets.
