Michael was born in Bedford and has lived, schooled and worked here ever since. He has always been involved and active in community issues and causes and that continued when he moved to Woodlands Park in 2010, where he was a founding member of the Woodlands Park Residents Association. It’s his belief that parish councils should be free of party politics, and so serves as an independent councillor, having won a February 2018 by-election.
He is a single parent who has an interest in special needs education, electric cars, environmental issues and animal welfare.
