I was born and have lived most of my life at Easington Lane, Hetton-le-Hole.
I represented Easington Lane as a Hetton Town Council Councillor and the larger Hetton Ward area since 2004 as a Sunderland City Councillor.
I was married to Jennie and we have two children, two grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
I worked for over thirty years within the clothing and footwear, retail and manufacturing sector.
My interests include computing, reading and travelling. I also enjoy a bit of Diy.
The second Friday of every month a ward surgery will be held at 09.00am until 10.00am at The Hetton Centre, Welfare Road, Hetton le Hole.
As your City Councillor, the council’s data protection
policy applies when I am carrying out council business. This explains your data
protection rights and who to contact if you have a query about use of your
data; https://www.sunderland.gov.uk/data-protection.
When working for you as your Ward Councillor, I
respect your data protection rights and only use the personal data you provide
as needed to respond to your enquiries. This can include sharing the
information you provide with council officers and other services and
organisations so I can get information to reply to you, which might include
information about you and your circumstances. I also share information with
other Councillors who may be able to help. If you would prefer me not to share
your information with a particular person, or organisation please let me know
when you contact me.
