Cabinet Post & New Objectives


I have been promoted to the Cabinet and now hold the portfolio for safer & stronger communities. Under my remit I will take ownership of policy in the following key areas:
-Responsible for delivery of Safer & Stronger Communities key priorities
-Oversee the work of strategic housing, licensing & environmental health, sports & leisure,museums, CCTV & community safety and Service Managers for Safer &... Stronger
Communities and Strategic Housing
I am the Cabinet link to Worcester Community Trust, Regulatory & Museums Shared Service.

During my year as Chair of licensing I managed to introduce several key policies including the introduction of a cumilative Impact Zone in the city centre, the acceptance of rear access vehicles to the fleet and the delegation of powers to officers.
Amongst the things I was working on were the introduction of a agreement for 'Chuggers' on the high street and was looking for an increase in vehicle inspections to increase vehicle safety .

However this work may or may not be carried out by the new Chair of Licensing Paul Denham whom i would like to wish good luck to in the post.

I thank everyone for their support in my previous role and ask for their continued support in my current role so that I can continue to bring as much benefit to as many people as I can in the City of Worcester regardless of party or creed/race/religion.

Over time rats/Gulls and Pigeons have taken over the building causing a huge nuisance to the local residents the roof collapsed and some action was taken to board up the windows. Residents have contacted us and we have taken action – We have been in contact with enforcement officers to ask them to serve notice on the developer to put new windows in and to restore it to its former glory. We have also been in contact with Gull control officers to ask them to implement gull control measures in the area.
