Bio
Once persuaded to stand for election as a councillor in 2019, I found the role very satisfying and it has been good to give something back to the community. Outside the council I am retired, having spent 40 years in IT, starting as a programmer/analyst and ending up as an Enterprise Architect. My interests are: keeping fit, travelling, building stuff, maintaining a classic car, and cooking. I am lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Norway, where we have a lake cabin. I am still learning Norwegian!

I have lived in Yateley with my family since the 1980's. My sons both went to Yateley School, and I have been involved in a number of community-based initiatives in the town. My career has largely focused on working with young people, including for a national charity, St Peter's Church as well as working as a Senior Manager in the public sector. I was a founding trustee of Vision 4 Youth and served in that role for 12 years. I am pleased to represent the residents of Tudor & Vigo Ward on Yateley Town Council.

Bio
I have been a councillor on YTC since 1987, with a gap between 1999 and 2016, with an interest in planning, the environment, climate change and biodiversity, and have lived in Yateley since 1983. I am a retired printer who spent my last few working years for the Highways Agency based at Hindhead Tunnel. My wife and I will be celebrating our 49th anniversary this Christmas, have two boys and three grandchildren living locally. In my spare time I write, have published over 200 stories, mostly fantasy fiction and some local history, and expect to complete my 24th novel this year. I wrote sports reports in the Gazette for over 20 years, have produced football programmes for 30 years, including programmes for Yateley United, and occasional online magazines covering local events.

Since being elected in 2022, I’ve focused on leading environmental initiatives to reduce our community’s carbon footprint and enhance local biodiversity. Working alongside our fantastic team, I’ve led award-winning schemes and championed local energy projects — all aligned with our town’s climate goals.

It’s a place we care deeply about, and I’m committed to helping shape a more sustainable future while building an inclusive and inspiring community.

Term of Office

Bio
I joined Yateley Town Council as a new councillor for Frogmore and Darby Green ward in May 2023. I was recruited by Adrian Collett, my role model, having been a FOCUS deliverer for some years. I had little or no knowledge about how councils worked and was fairly unaware of national and district politics also so I had a pretty steep learning curve to achieve. That said I have enormously enjoyed getting involved especially in the local groups and events. I love being a link between these groups to aid the gathering of collective information for beneficial purposes. I am a busy person, being the chairperson of the Daisy Chain Café for those with dementia in Yateley, the Vice Chairman of Oakley health’s Patient Participation Group, a member of Yateley’s U3a and of Frogmore’s Everyone Active group. It all keeps me out of mischief and positively focussed which has been important to me in my widowhood. I have two grown sons and ten grandchildren, so no peace for the wicked!
