I was first elected onto the Parish Council twenty five years ago and have been privileged to be Chair on three occasions. I feel that the future is very promising for the Council, Councillor’s and the Parish of Donnington and Muxton where we have seen a steady increase in population.

I have been very involved within the area over the years having served as a Governor at the Sutherland School, Donnington Wood Junior School And Donnington Wood Infants School. I am also a Councillor with Telford and Wrekin Borough Council representing Donnington.

I have lived in Donnington since the early 90’s and have been heavily involved in boxing and Scouting.

I joined the council to see if I could help today’s youngsters in any way shape or form; I strongly believe that if we look after today’s kids then we will have a strong community tomorrow

In addition to Council I hold the following offices

President of West Midlands ABA
Auditor of West Midlands ABA
Assistant Secretary of West Midlands ABA
Member of Telford & Wrekin Sports Commission
Member of Scout fellowship
Governor Donnington Wood Primary School

I was born in Donnington and lived here for over thirty-five years. When my wife and I got married we moved a few metres to Trench. Whilst on the Parish Council I have served on many committees including Planning and Finance. I have also had the honour of being Chairman to the Parish Council.

I am also an elected Councillor for Wrockwardine Wood and Trench Parish Council supporting the close links between the two parishes. For over thirty years I have been a member of the Little Theatre Donnington and am currently front of house manager supporting the community with plays, musicals and pantomimes.

I enjoy serving the public to give an excellent service all my working life. I work in retail serving thousands of customers. You are very welcome to contact me via the Parish Council Clerk.

I believe it is important to have input at the local schools. adly I am giving up this position but I am joining The Sutherland Board of Governors. Cllr Clive Mason and I have decided to swap schools as it will give both schools fresh input and ideas.

I am also The T&W Ward Councillor for Donnington and together with Clive Mason work hard to resolve Donnington issues and bring improvements to the Ward.

St Georges & Priorslee Parish since 1994.

I am currently employed by Donnington Partnership Charitable Trust  as the Centre Manager at Donnington Community Hub and I  love supporting the Community in putting on events and activities at the centre for everyone. I have supported the Donnington & Muxton  Voluntary Youth Club, the Dementia café and  Babes in the Hub Parent & Toddler Group that run from the Hub.

I am also a FA level 2 volunteer football manager and secretary of Sinclair United Junior football club.  Where I live I set up and chair the St Georges Partnership which has meant I have help organise and plan lots of community events , I really hope this experience will help me in supporting and delivering similar events to the community of Donnington & Muxton.

Although, I am proud of my Scottish heritage, I consider myself to be a local.

Over the years I have been keen to foster good community relationships.  In 2015, I was fortunate enough to be elected as a Public Governor, for Midlands Partnership NHS Trust (MPFT). I was re-elected for a second, 3 year term of office in 2018. I have a keen interest supporting those with mental health issues and their carers.

I am new to the ways of a Parish Councillor.   However, I believe my role as a Governor will stand me in good stead, as I not afraid to, challenge or question decisions to ensure the needs of the community are heard and met.

I am a trustee of the Telford Mental Health Forum and Co-Chair, a trustee of the Carers Partnership Board for Telford & Wrekin. A Director of Challenging Perceptions, a charity for young people to explore and address mental health issues and wellbeing.

I am looking forward to the new challenge of being a Councillor for Donnington East Ward.

I’ve been a governor of Muxton Primary in the past and currently am the Shadow Cabinet member for Resources on Telford and Wrekin Council, having served on the Unitary Council since 2003.

This is my second term of office with the Parish and I was previously Chairman in 2014/2015 before my colleague Lisa Dugmore.

My background is in Accountancy, I am a chartered Accountant and have had a number of senior jobs in different industries, I currently run my own ICT company in Priorslee.

My interests are looking after the Granville Country Park and keeping the Parish and Boroughs finances under control.

I am always interested to help and assist residents.

I moved away with my job in the early 1990s but returned 17 years ago.

I have 3 children and work as a School Business Manager in a special School in Wem. I thoroughly enjoy my job, and have always been a very active participant with my children’s schools serving as Chair of the PTA for a number of years.

I have been a Parish Councillor since 2001 and thoroughly enjoy the many and varied opportunities there are for me to better understand the workings of my local community and how the key stakeholder groups can work together to make real and lasting improvements to benefit everyone.

Interests have been Motor bikes, taekwondo, Shotokan, rock climbing, canoeing, now retired activities have been superseded by more leisurely pursuits of walking and general interest in nature. Through dog walking the picking up of bottles, cans and other harmful litter compelled me to being part of the Pride in the community and other activities such as reporting improvements and repairs like potholes that are required to try and make the area a better place to live. Attending the Parish Council meetings has now steered me to standing for a Parish Councillor for Muxton 2019. I am always approachable at any time and interested in listening to residents’ views and comments as to how to improve our neighbourhood. I am looking forward to the opportunity in putting forward improvements that will be of benefit for our community.

I have worked as a Pharmacist for more than 30 years, working all over the UK, and currently am the Manager for a busy local  health centre pharmacy. I am also one of the borough councillors representing Muxton on Telford & Wrekin council.
