Section 3: Community Involvement
Board Member of the BID (Business Improvement District)
Kidderminster Town Councillor
Young People's Forum
Becoming Leader of the Council in 2021 has been very time consuming but enjoyable but it means that, unfortunately, I have had to step back from some of the other organisations and groups that I have been involved with in the past, for the time being, but have tried to keep in touch with them as much as possible .
Section 4: Assisting Constituents
This year my ward colleagues and I have donated amounts of money from our Community Leadership Funding to -
Provision of a new piece of inclusive play equipment for Spennells Playing Field park area.
Assorted areas of grounds maintenance work across the ward which are not covered by normal Council schedules to help keep the area looking good.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
I have lived in the Aggborough and Spennells Ward for over 42 years and have represented it as one of the District Councillors for over 26 years. I think living in the ward gives you the local knowledge needed when working on local issues with residents but, of course, being a District Councillor means having to balance working for your ward and its residents and the larger Wyre Forest.
