This is my second spell as a Sunderland City Councillor, having really enjoyed working on behalf of the people of St Chad's Ward from 2007-11.

However my base for local politics in Sunderland has always been St Michael's, where I have lived for over 50 years and I was very pleased to get elected in May 2014 to serve the ward I know so well.

Locally I  attend the meetings of various Resident's Groups within St Michaels Ward, including  Ashmore, Ashbrooke and Thornholme, while I am also Chair of St Michael's Residents' Association.  In addition the Friends of Backhouse Park and Barley Mow Park meet regularly and I attend their meetings too. 

Professionally I was a Chartered Surveyor based in the north-east, so housing is my main interest. During my career I met thousands of people from all walks of life which was valuable experience for my current work as a Councillor.  Away from politics football has always been my main interest, seeing my first Sunderland game in 1959 and travelling throughout Scotland and Europe to watch professional football.  I am part of two history/heritage groups in Hendon and have been a member of the Royalty Theatre, Sunderland, for many years.  Since retiring I have been a volunteer for Age UK, Sunderland, in their "dial-a-driver" service.  

The next ward surgery will be held on Wednesday 18th April from 11am to 12 noon at St Nicholas Church Hall, Queen Alexandra Road. 

All ward residents are welcome and all ward councillors expect to be in attendance.
