Welcome to Willenhall.
Along with my colleague Cllr Val Woodruff I represent Willenhall North Ward which covers all of New Invention and the northern part of Short Heath. I am also the "Focus Editor" for the Willenhall area.
What drives me is the belief that everyone should have an equal start in life. No one should be a victim of their Post Code.
