Born and bred in Rochdale.

 

I have stood as an independent candidate 5 times in Spotland and Falinge, finishing 2nd twice. This is despite being up against long established parties and their loyal supporters who, for whatever reason, feel obliged to vote for a political organisation rather than an individual person.

​

I first moved to the Spotland in 1971 and attended Redbrook and Greenhill (now Falinge Park) Schools.

​

Have lived on Spotland Road, Ings Lane and currently live on Rooley Moor Road.

​

For as far back as I can remember, I have always taken an interest in the well-being of my town. Like many others, I do what I can to try and improve and protect it. I consider myself to have had some success along the way - all things considered. As a councillor, I could do so much more.

​

I don't belong to any political party and hope that if elected, it will encourage other independent minded candidates to come forward to make a difference. 

​

It's what our town desperately needs.
