Colin grew in Merseyside but has been proud to call Wokingham his home for almost 40 years.
Colin’s children grew up and were educated locally. Colin is retired after a career in central government finance.
He is a strong believer in local government for local people.
He believes the current government’s preference for big, private sector centralised contracts over supporting and developing the expertise of local government has contributed to the expensive and wasteful track and trace outcomes.
As a Borough councillor, Colin’s approach will underpinned by engagement – he will always seek, and listen to, the views of residents.

Colin believes that what is good for the planet is good for our community.

Colin supports the establishment of a Citizens’ Assembly on the Climate Emergency.

Whether the concern is planning and construction, transport, our green spaces, allotments, or markets meaningful involvement will produce better solutions. Colin is a keen supporter of the Arts. One his current activities is helping to run an arts group that reaches out to all sections of our community and he will work for the growth in  the provision for recreational  and cultural activities.
