As one of your Councillors, John always been proud to represent Westbourne & West Cliff.  It’s a  very special part of Bournemouth.

For local residents, being able to contact your Ward Councillors, knowing you will get a quick response and swift action to sort out your issues has always been his priority. He has considered it a privilege to help so many local residents with their problems over the years and to take up the challenges that they have faced in their daily lives.

Residents rightly expect a first-class service, particularly on any local issues which affect them personally. That is what he always does his best to provide.

As well as being a Ward Councillor, John was Leader of Bournemouth Council for the past 7 years and was also responsible for the Council’s budget and its finances.  He says, ‘It’s a very big responsibility, but as a Bournemouth resident I feel honoured to have been able to do this job on behalf of all those who live in the town, and especially for those who rely on the Council to support them.’

In his business life, John has been in the hotel and tourism industry locally for most of his life and as well as managing hotels, he is also a hotel management consultant, based in Bournemouth.
