About me
I am Mental Health Care professional and I have worked for the NHS for almost 20 years. I am a proud father of two children of primary school age. I'm originally from Billingham and have lived in Ingleby Barwick since 1996. I live in the Round Hill area.
I am very passionate about our community. Ingleby Barwick is a great place to live, but it should have been so much better, and it could be. I became a councillor to improve the quality of life of everybody that lives in Ingleby Barwick.
However we are now seeing improvements for the area including the development of a park for Ingleby Barwick and a promise of an additional 300 places in secondary school places on Ingleby Barwick. As a resident of Round Hill I am particularly pleased with the improvement of the environment of Round Hill; this includes the erection of welcome signs to give us an identity and doubling the number of dog and litterbins in the area. I have also been working hard on the improvement of road safety on Blair Avenue adjacent to Myton Park Primary School. Waiting restrictions have been introduced onto the road, a school zone has been developed, Speed Indicator Display Signs have been installed and a crossing patroller employed.
You have given me a chance to represent you on Stockton Borough Council and for that I am grateful. If you want to discuss issues of importance to you in the ward then please use any of the contact options for me, which you can find to the top right of this page. I will keep you informed of progress via email or phone, through newsletters and of course via this web site.
