I have lived in Oldham all my life and the best part here in Chadderton with my wife and three children. For the last 21 years I have been involved with the local community in a voluntary capacity in many capacities, be it raising community issues with statutory bodies, supporting voluntary organisations, promoting businesses, tacking social issues, supporting projects benefitting the ward and much more. I am a local business man with strong business experience.

I am a good advocate, with a track record of standing up for rights of people and helping them solve their problems and concerns.

I hope I have lived up to the expectations of the community and sincerely hope I am given the chance to continue to serve our ward.

I want to work with a Labour council to deliver more council homes, to create more jobs and apprenticeships, to deliver more police to keep our communities safe, and to eradicate homelessness and food poverty.
