About Christopher
Christopher was born in 1969
in Walsall and grew up in Wombourne near Wolverhampton. He studied history at the London School of Economics before joining
a major IT consultancy firm. A Midlander through and through, Christopher is committed to the Tamworth constituency.
Christopher's
interests range far wider than just community politics. He likes golf, although he has not played so much since becoming Tamworth's
Conservative candidate, horse racing, grand prix (watching not driving!) and laughing at "Dead Ringers."
Christopher's
Experience
Since he joined the Conservatives in 1987, Christopher has campaigned hard for the Britain he believes
in. He believes strongly in local communities where people look after one another, support their local schools and hospitals,
respect common traditions and stand together against the threat of crime and anti-social behaviour.
A firm advocate
of community involvement, he has served as a governor of North Westminster Community School, one of the most cosmopolitan
schools in the country. Christopher is also a member of Tamworth’s Hodge Lane nature reserve and regularly attends such
local events as the Canwell Show.
Christopher believes that Labour has let down Britain. He feels that Tony Blair's
promises have been squandered in too many spin-filled years leaving people cynical about him and his brand of politics. Christopher
wants to see honest and fair government restored to Britain.
Christopher's Commitment
After
the General Election in May 2005 when he came within a whisker of beating Labour, Christopher is determined to keep campaigning
in Tamworth, Shenstone, Stonnall, Little Aston and villages in the Mease Valley. He is not going to walk away from local people.
He is staying on. Christopher says: "When I was at school, I learned that "if at first you don't succeed try,
try again". That is what I am doing. I am determined to keep working in Tamworth and local villages."
Conservatives
- Working for Tamworth, Shenstone, Stonnall, Little Aston & Mease Valley.
Conservatives won Tamworth borough in
June 2004 after 17 years of Labour control. Now, the new Conservative team is working hard to repair the damage wrought by
years of Labour mismanagement. We are determined to restore civic pride in Tamworth and listen to what local people want to
see in their town.
And in Lichfield district we have one of the best Conservative controlled councils in the Midlands
with an excellent record on green issues. Shenstone & Wall, Stonnall, Little Aston and villages in the Mease Valley are
all in the Tamworth constituency.
Christopher is determined to speak up on the issues that really matter to local people:
· More police on the beat to protect local communities
· Extra mobile CCTV to track down and
crack down on crime
· Better school discipline and better support for students (under Labour, Staffordshire's
schools are the 5th worst funded in England)
· Cleaner hospital wards so the MRSA super-bug is kept out of the
Robert Peel hospital
· Better support for our independent Staffordshire Ambulance Service
· More
recognition for the rural community around Tamworth
He is also leading a high profile "clean up" campaign
to get the litter of local streets and inspire more pride in the local community. Christopher's clean up team are regularly
out and about in Tamworth and local villages. Watch out for their local leaflets and for more details in the Tamworth Herald
and Lichfield Mercury.
The local Conservative team is young, enthusiastic and growing. Three local councillors are aged
under 30 and there is a strong "Conservative Future" branch. Tamworth's Conservatives are determined to show
that there is an honest local alternative to Labour.
Christopher says: "I believe in honest government, spoken
in plain language, delivering the services people need whilst keeping out of their everyday lives. The only way to get that
kind of government is to vote out the current one."
