Visiting scouts

Just got back from visiting the 3rd Macclesfield Scouts.

Got to teach them some knots, which was great fun. Shame I didn't get to teach them all how to roll their scarves (or neckers - and I'm not getting into that argument) properly - most of them needed a bit of attention!

It's a good size group, and it's nice to see that scouting is still so popular.

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.
