John is 56 years old and works for a private company for the Home Office.

He has lived in Wyre Forest since 1972 and has two daughters who were educated at local schools in Kidderminster.

He has a particular interest in the social services responsibilities at County Hall and is committed to work to restore some, if not all, of our hospital services in Kidderminster, especially bearing in mind the elderly and the disabled.

He is totally opposed to the building of an incinerator in Kidderminster and will fight to stop the proposed development on the Stourport Road, if it should go to appeal following the planning refusal influenced by Conservative county colleagues.

If elected as your county councillor, he will have total commitment to work for you whatever your political persuasion may be.
