Help my re-election campaign

Donation protected
Hey everyone,

I was first elected to represent Warley ward on Calderdale Council in a by-election in July 2012. This year I’m standing for re-election. The party I belong to the Liberal Democrats is not funded by big business or trade unions so all of the campaigning I am able to do is funded from my own pocket or by donations from people such as yourself. I need to raise £1,000 towards the cost of my re-election campaign in May and I hope you can help.




Since I was elected I’ve worked on a number of projects, I’ve helped to save the Pellon Network Centre on Rye Lane after Labour threatened to close it, and I’m now a trustee of a chartable organisation that is trying to take over the running of this building.

On the Council it self I’m the chair of the Economy and Environment Scrutiny panel. Working to rebuild out local economy. I've successfully argued for extra resources for local businesses to help boost our business exports, additional apprenticeships and fought to get extra protection for our local pubs.

As a passionate environmentalist I’ve instigated a major review into the Green Economy on the Council and produced a detailed report with a number of green initiatives that were taken on board by the cabinet of the Council. I've also proposed a motion on the Council that means we are now a 'frack-free' zone in Calderdale .

Then in the ward I’ve campaigned to get superfast broadband to Fountainhead village, I’ve campaigned to get superfast broadband to Fountainhead village,  got a new park built at Sandhall Green, secured a yearly £5,000 budget for our ward forum to spend on local community groups, campaigned against speeding, 


The ward is already represented by two Labour Councillors, who simply don't have this same record of local action in the area. I've done so much in less than a full-term of office. If I had four years I could work to build a community hub in Warley ward where people can access community services such as health services, a library and Council services all under one roof; establish a friends of Roils Head Moor group to turn the Moor into a proper nature reserve;  and continue to champion economic and environmental issues on the Council.



To make that happen I need your support, please donate what you can to my re-election campaign.
