In January 2010 I was asked by a friend, already a member of the Liberal Democrats, if I would stand as a candidate for University Ward in Preston for the 2010 local election. After some discussion with my family and much mulling, I agreed.
This blog is a record of my thoughts and the events during the process, and hopefully, my success.

University Ward
Just a quick update as a number of people have asked what area University Ward actually covers, so heres a map:
The area in RED is University Ward, meaning the streets between eldon street and Fylde Road roundabout on the west side of Plungington and Adelphi street, and the area around SSt Mark's Road, Pedder Street and Marsh Lane.
I'm 28, originally from Crosby near Liverpool and Married wth one child. I have two jobs (such is the way for many of us these days) as well as being a stay at home Dad during the week. I am passionate about community and the arts and have been involved in a number of charities and arts organisations over the years.
