"I have lived in Hildenborough since 1969 with the privilege of serving on Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council for Hildenborough ward since 1987. I am married to Julie.
I like to keep residents informed on a monthly basis via my piece in ‘Keys’ magazine this is usually on a variety of topics and feedback from residents is extremely positive. Hildenborough will no doubt face new challenges over the coming years, especially more pressure on the Metropolitan Green Belt the ever-increasing traffic through the village and the continual concern over flooding. I have always considered myself a 24 hour Councillor and continue to state that I am available for residents at all times. I am proud to be part of a ‘well run council’ who deliver essential services efficiently at the lowest cost to taxpayers."
