I am the Mayor of Ripley for 2026-2027. I was also Mayor for the period 2022-2023.
I retired from the laboratory service of the NHS in 2010 and moved to Ambergate in 2012. Growing up in Sheffield, Derbyshire was my playground and my wife and I brought our children here as much as possible. I have three adult children and five grandchildren.
I was co-opted onto Ripley Town Council in 2016 and was elected in 2019. I wanted to be a Councillor to help the community and maintain quality of life, if possible, for local people. I am a diligent litter picker in the Ripley Township and reports any problems encountered to the relevant authorities.
