Paul is both a Borough and County Councillor.

Paul came to be known for the sterling work he did campaigning against the incinerator planned for Hatfield. He was a key figure in the fight against the Conservative-led County Council's plan to burn all the county's rubbish at New Barnfield from the moment the plan was announced in November 2007 right up to the point where the Government threw out the plan in 2015.

More recently, Paul has played a major part in Lib Dem efforts to protect our communities and our green spaces as a County Councillor, including pushing for more schools, road upgrades, better NHS services and improved leisure services where development will be forced on us, so current residents are disadvantaged as little as possible.

Paul has lived in Hatfield for over 20 years. His children have grown up and gone to local schools in the area. He cares deeply about our Borough. He will work hard to make Welwyn Hatfield a better place to live, work and play.

On the Council

On the Borough Council, Paul was the Leader of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council during the first year of the Joint Administration with Labour.

On the County Council, Paul is the Cabinet member for Environment, transport and growth. The Liberal Democrats now run the County Council.

Paul has worked hard to improve the state of our roads and pavements and provide the services and support the people of Hertfordshire pay for and deserve.

Paul's Promise

"I would like to thank each and every person who voted for me and my fellow Lib Dems over the last few years. Our group on the Borough Council has grown from just two in 2015 to 15 now and we hope that will continue as more residents see what superb local champions Lib Dem councillors are. It is fantastic to know that people across Welwyn Hatfield continue to support our efforts to make our area a better place to live and work. I'll do all I can to ensure I repay your faith and I'll continue to fight to get the best possible deal for everyone who lives in our Borough."
