I am pleased to offer my services to electors in our ward, while totally supporting Dr Richard Taylor's effective stand supporting hospital services.

My wife and I have lived in Kidderminster for 15 years since coming from Birmingham, where I finally worked for 14 years as an NHS officer (engineering).

Now retired, I would count it a privilege to serve Habberley and Blakebrook residents as councillor.

Living in the ward, I would respond to residents who ask me to take up their difficulties, while co-operating with Health Concern colleagues to promote:

Developing a doctor-led emergency unit at our hospital.

The relocation of Kemp Hospice into our ward.

The regeneration of Kidderminster's town centre.

Recycling waste.

Exploring the best organisation for our schools.

Sorting out anti-social behaviour.

Recommending more and better transport services for our area.
