I have been one of the elected Councillors for the Southpark & Woodhatch Ward since 2008, since then I have worked hard to represent the residents of the Ward.

Since being elected to the Council, I have served on the Planning and Licensing Committees. Within the Ward I have worked with Cllrs Frances King and Carol Poulter to actively support the refurbishment of the YMCA Sovereign Centre.

I have fought off many of the unacceptable planning proposals which have been submitted, principally cramming houses into small spaces, back gardens and encroaching into the Green Belt.

Professionally, my wife and I have our own small business located in Cage Yard, Reigate. Apart from work and being a Councillor, I spend any spare time clay shooting, playing society golf and spending time with my family, friends and grandchildren.
