I’ve lived in West Lancs most of my life and have with my wife raised our family here. I am passionate about protecting the environment and will be an advocate for all ecological issues, and work with the community and local businesses to help raise awareness of the things we can change to protect the environment. I bring 8 years experience of being a Councillor, with 3 years leading several Cabinet portfolios. I enjoy travelling, reading, film and theatre. My main interest is music, I have worked in production and management, as well as a volunteer on hospital radio.
