I am a Labour Councillor for the Gamesley Ward on High Peak Borough Council and currently deputy leader of the council and executive member for community services.

I have a blog that aims to cover issues that come up during my work as a local councillor. The blog also aims to cover local events and other issues of general interest.

I also have a traditional website, along with twitter and facebook and various other bits elsewhere.

My aim in trying a variety of online methods to both contact folk and be contacted by folk and to try and improve the things that I can do as a local councillor
