Statement to voters

Simon grew up in rural North Yorkshire before moving to London to attend university. After a spell working in our capital city, he returned to Yorkshire, this time settling in the mill town of Dewsbury. He has made his home here for 20 years, along with his wife Marnie and their two daughters, both of whom attend a local secondary school. As well as his work in the audio visual industry, Simon has also in the past found time to play a pivotal part in the formation of the fan-owned cooperative football club Scarborough Athletic, and served as its first volunteer chair. In addition he served on the board of the national body for Supporters’ Trusts, Supporters Direct, which provides helps provide support and guidance to sports fans seeking to gain ownership and/or board influence of the clubs they follow. In recent years, he has served as a governor of Boothroyd Primary Academy in Dewsbury, gaining first-hand experience of the pressures the education system is under. Having never previously been a dyed-in-the-wool supporter of any particular party, Simon joined the Green Party after researching their policies and realising they actually made a lot of sense. His mission is to get the Green message across to Dewsbury voters!
