I am the Deputy Cabinet Member for Finance & Resources and an Advisor on Youth Matters. I am also Chairman of the Conservative Group and a member of the Governance Committee.
As Chairman of Ansty & Staplefield Parish Council, I am pleased that we have improved services again this year whilst freezing council tax for the fourth successive year.
A self-taught
guitarist, I run my own guitar

to see you at one of our gigs – we play at many pubs, clubs and private functions in the Mid-Sussex
area.
