I have lived in Boscastle for the last
six years and before that in Warbstow where my son and two grandchildren
still live. During my time there, I was also a District Councillor and a
District Councillor for the Ottery Ward for six and half years serving
as Vice Chairman of the planning committee.
I worked for UPS in Bodmin and in my spare time enjoy watching Boscastle

I am keen that there should be no major changes in Boscastle and that
inappropriate development should be avoided.
