Thanks to everyone who voted for me at last week's elections. I just missed out, but, I'm pleased to have done my bit over the past 4 years. A big thanks too, to my son, Harry, who has made all my campaign videos over the years, including this unused edit - makes me laugh a lot!

Thursday 1st May is polling day. Please vote to re-elect me as your County Councillor for the Stratford North area. I’m keen to keep working hard, standing up for Stratford and getting things done. Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm. Don’t forget to take your voter ID.

There are 30 Cllr roles covering Stratford town. 18 Town Cllrs, 9 District Cllrs represent town Wards and 3 WCC Cllrs represent the Town, myself being one. 28 of these roles are held by Lib Dems. 1 Town Cllr is Labour and I'm the only Conservative. How will this look after 1 May?

Representing Stratford within WCC, helping to shape policy, is a really important part of my role and I’ve opted to sit on a number of formal Council Committees. These are webcast and you can see excepts of me speaking at them on my YouTube channel,

🌳🌳 I can’t take any credit for it, but I was really pleased to see a number of new trees planted by WCC along the Warwick Road and these on Welcombe Road. Thanks, Forestry team!
