About Rob
I live in Sowerby and work in IT, with over 25 years senior management experience in the public and private sectors. I was born and raised in Cornholme, Todmorden and have spent a large part of my working life in Calderdale. I have a deep understanding and a true empathy with local community needs combined with an extensive knowledge of local and national politics.
A number of people have asked if an Independent councillor can affect change at CMBC - the answer is YES!! As an Independent councillor I will have the freedom to vote on every individual motion the way that my CONSTITUENTS want me to vote and not the way the party whips would want me to vote. I strongly believe in justice and I'm a committed opponent of all forms of corruption. I am a team player who puts people before political ideology; having been involved in politics for a number of years, I have come to the opinion that political parties are not only fundamentally flawed and undemocratic due to their ‘whip system’, candidate selection and promotion of career politicians, but they also facilitate potential corruption and self-interest. It is the people and their communities which they live in that are important, not national political ideology. Political Party baggage needs to be a product of the past and it is time for honest politics and honest opinion. If re-elected in 2018 I will continue to only be answerable to the people of Ryburn. It is time that some common sense was put before party politics. I am an ardent believer in equality at all levels and believe that all parts of Calderdale should have access to the same basic facilities and services regardless of the perceived affluence of some wards. |

Get Involved
Since becoming an Independent Councillor I have had many messages of support, which has been touching and inspiring.
However, to run a successful campaign, I need a team of leafleters and helpers.
This is a race that can be won, we are building an amazing team of people that have a variety of skills. If you'd like to continue to have an Independent Councillor who will truly represent you at Calderdale get in touch with me.
