David believes in transparent and engaged local government.

“Shropshire Council has become too secretive, too remote and too unaccountable to local residents. Local democracy works when decisions are made as close to the communities they affect as possible. Decision-makers need to be engaged with people, responding to their needs and listening. All too often Shropshire Council talks down to residents”.

He wants to see a Shropshire Council that works for Whittington and West Felton.

David is passionate about protecting and promoting the environment.

“The environmental crises we face need urgent action. Shropshire Council just isn't moving fast enough. As a surveyor I have spent my career modelling the environment and see the impact poor development can have. Bold action brings many wider opportunities”.

He is committed to working towards a sustainable future for Shropshire, where we can be healthy, happy and prosperous.
