I was raised in the North of England and moved to Wales 45 years ago. I worked as a design engineer until the Eighties when I went back to college as a mature student to complete my teacher training.
After 30 years teaching entered the political arena, cumulating in serving a 5 year term as a Borough Councillor, including becoming Mayor of the county.
I'm currently retired after 20 years on the bench as a Magistrate and Family Judge. Locally I hold the position of President to the Llanharry Senior Citizens branch and am acting chair to the Llanharran branch.
John Davies will be a hard act to follow but I can assure you that I will do my best to address the issues that affect us all in this changing world and that will be at levels throughout our society.
