Robert is retired and has lived in Wymondham since 1963 and has seen the town grow into the thriving community that it is today. He is a Chartered Civil Engineer with a career spent working for Anglian Water, the Broads Authority and as a self-employed structural engineer.

Robert is also a town and county councillor for Wymondham, a trustee of two local charities and has twice been elected Mayor of Wymondham.

He is a local man, keen to see Wymondham retain its character whilst moving with the times. He seeks to balance development pressures with tough negotiations with developers on infrastructure investment that improves the quality of life for everyone.

Robert’s priorities, if elected, will be local issues such as the provision of energy-efficiency measures for the leisure centres, step-free access to the station, improved infrastructure to the town centre, such as a proper bus shelter, and to keep council tax low.

Robert says “That this election is about local people and local issues that matter to you. If elected, I will, of course, work hard for all of the people of Wymondham.”
