Welcome to my blog.
I was elected as Councillor for Macclesfield West in May 2008. I live in the centre of the ward with my Wife and Westie, and when I'm not a Councillor I'm a Scout Leader and I run a small consultancy business.
I'm equally at home cycling around the town as I am walking the dog up Shutlingsloe – Macclesfield is one of the few places that can provide this town and country balance.
This blog is intended to give the residents of Macclesfield West an insight into the work that I am doing on their behalf. This could be better services and facilities for children and young people, or perhaps trying to achieve a better plan for the Macclesfield Town Centre redevelopment. At all times I'm keen on reducing costs and keeping council tax as low as possible.
The blog is intended to be little lighthearted at times, perhaps irreverent but never irrelevant. You're encouraged to comment on each post and have your say - it's a great way to debate the issues of the day.

Don't rush to get it, sounds like another usless talking shop. We want ACTION not a load of gobbledegook...............
The context
Local Government Review will mean that there is one unitary authority for the
current........ An
anticipated re-alignment of PCT boundaries will mean that we have coterminosity
of the major players.
The third sector... is very diverse, has much to contribute to
LAA and LSP objectives and at various levels has already contributed much
to shared goals. LGR presents us with an opportunity to bring the sector
together, seek to represent its views and to offer coordinated and focussed
support so that we can maximise its contribution to the delivery of high quality
services which meet the needs of the community.
absolutely no intention of the Assembly being a talking shop. The people involved have more important things to do with their time¬
One of the important things about the third sector is that they can have a talking shop and mutter gobbledegook if they want to.
The 3rd sector is not directly funding by the tax payer, and therefore they can do what they like.
But if that's what they did then they wouldn't be able to offer services that are aligned with what the council needs, and therefore would never get commssioned to deliver anything.
This means they would get no money, and they'd cease to exist.
