Neil is very well known by residents in the Puxton area, living in Franche and attending Wolverley Primary, Sion Hill Middle and Wolverley High schools.

He has a particular interest in education and is concerned that two schools in the county division have been designated "in special measures" following Ofsted inspections.

He believes sensible traffic calming measures are necessary to help protect many of our local school children from speeding traffic.

He is currently a member of Wolverley Parish Council and, therefore, stands for election with a good understanding of local government in Worcestershire.

He also wants to preserve the county from the urban municipal bulldozer.

He supports the reinstatement of services at Kidderminster Hospital.

Neil says he will bring a new youthful dimension to a good Conservative team for Wyre Forest, both locally and at County Hall.
