Bill is delighted and honoured to have been selected to fight the Brinton Park seat for Labour.

Bill is a real local man, having been born, bred and lived in the area all of his life. A well known, respected and socially active individual, Bill has been involved in local issues for over 30 years.

Bill's children and grandchildren have all been educated at local schools, and so he welcomes the county's continued commitment to enhancing educational provision in Wyre Forest schools.

He is pleased with the recent opening of the GP Unit at Kidderminster Hospital and looks forward to further developments such as the Kidney Dialysis Unit.

He wants to see redevelopment of industrial sites in the area in order to bring jobs and prosperity to Wyre Forest.

"However, I do not include an incinerator in such plans. An incinerator has no place in Wyre Forest!", he says.
