About Me

So who is Councillor Robert Pritchard?

I am a councillor elected to represent the Belgrave ward on Tamworth Borough Council, this area covers the Park Farm & Field Farm Estates, Birds Bush, Wilnecote Lane, Kettlebrook (North of the A5) and Lakeside. Elected in 2004 I was just 22 years old and quite dumb struck by the whole thing. I have since undergone the steepest learning curve I have ever experienced and have progressed through many positions on Tamworth Borough Council. Starting fresh and raw in 2004 is took a position as vice-chairman of the environment and community safety scrutiny committee. I became chairman after just 6 months. In 2005 I moved onto a new challenge taking on the corporate governance & service improvement portfolio. This is a position I still enjoy today and it provides me with many challenges and much satisfaction. In 2007 I stood for election to Fazeley Town Council to try and help out there and I was successfully elected. At the first meeting I was elected deputy Mayor and them Mayor in 2008 by the council for which I am extremely humbled. Along this journey I have meet many good people especially the people of Belgrave who I represent. The Belgrave Residents Group is always a joy to work with and we support each other in making Belgrave that little bit better. I hope to go on representing the Belgrave, Kettlebrook & Lakeside residents for many more years.
