Personal Information

I was brought up and attended both Junior and Grammar schools in Penistone. I worked for the family and local building firms for eleven years, followed by 27 years in the steel industry. I now work part time for Morrisons in Barnsley. I am married with three children and three grandsons.

I am totally independent, wanting only to improve my hometown. Local services need to be improved, especially the road network and the provision of a residential, short stay and respite facility. The Paramount cinema and Community Centre should be improved and kept as a viable and well used part of the community. With the supermarket plans passed, to push for regeneration of the Town centre and encourage new and established businesses to invest in the area.
