I was born in Hebden Bridge moving to Mytholmroyd when I was four years old. I attended Burnley Road School, where I now serve as Chair to the Governing Board, and Calder High School, where I was Deputy Head Boy in my last year. I am perhaps better known for having owned Bridge End Fisheries in Mytholmroyd and for my service to Calder Valley Youth theatre, St Michael’s Amateurs and Hebden Bridge Light Opera Society. I am committed to ensuring Mytholmroyd has a voice, in this very active corner of Calderdale, and that every resident of my Ward has fair representation and quality of life.
Having been elected to Council in 2008, it was an honour for me to serve the communities of Hebden Royd as Mayor for the 2013/2014 term of office. I very much enjoyed meeting and working with so many hard-working local groups and attending visits to our twinned towns on the continent.
