Telford & Wrekin Conservative Councillor for Muxton Ward
The Muxton Outdoor Gym is a great highlight from mine and Cllr Nigel Dugmore term in office, this was funded by a S106 agreement (money from developers) from the C2/C3 development, which at the time was one of the most disliked and resisted developments in the history of Telford and Wrekin Council, but some good […]

Our public meeting on Wednesday 13th February was well attended, my colleague Cllr Phil Loughlin led the meeting and explained the benefits of designating Muxton Lane as a quiet lane (rather than a quite lane as officers seems to keep spelling it on their plans).

I’ve been campaigning and calling for more investment in the highway infrastructure of Telford and Wrekin since 2003, infact it is one of the things that annoyed me about Telford when I moved here in 1995 and triggered my standing as a Councillor back in 2003. The Labour administration back then did not have any […]
