About This Councillor
I was elected to the Council on 8th May 1995 and I am currently Mayor of Darlington.
As Mayor of Darlington, I chair meetings of full Council, attend annual civic events such as Remembrance Sunday, represent the Borough at ceremonial events and act as a host to official visitors to the Borough.

In May 2007 I was also re-elected Chair of the Monitoring and Co-ordination Group of the Council, which examines the work programmes and reviews to be undertaken of each of the five Scrutiny Committees. This Group comprises the Chairs of each of the Council's Scrutiny Committees.
I promote the work of the Council at every possible opportunity. I often achieve this by regional networking on Scrutiny or in my role as a facilitator for North Eastern Regional Employers Organisation; as an Audit Commission Accredited Inspector; or as a Peer Member for the Improvement and Development Agency.
My role also involves attending other meetings with Senior Officers of the Council throughout the year to discuss issues. I have also attended training and development events to gain a better understanding of the work of the Council. All Councillors sign to attend a minimum of five training events each year. Our attendances at training events are monitored by the Council's Standards Committee.
I continue with my role as an active Ward Councillor for the Lingfield Ward of Darlington undertaking regular ward surgeries and ward tours and dealing with all issues raised by residents within the Ward.
