DARRYL has lived in Macclesfield since his wife was relocated here four years ago to work for AstraZeneca. Originally from South East London, Darryl also lived in Bristol for a spell but is now passionate about his new home.

Owning a house in the centre of Macclesfield West, he is equally at home cycling around the town as he is walking the dog up Shutlingsloe – and Macclesfield is one of the few places that can provide this town and country balance.

Darryl is self employed as a Business Consultant and would like to use these skills to ensure Cheshire East will be run well. The ability to understand and interact with a wide range of people is essential when out in the ward – but this must be balanced by taking a consistent, questioning and firm approach to council policy. Without this it will not be possible to deliver good value for money whilst retaining the quality of services which all residents desire.

With the support of Macclesfield West behind him, Darryl genuinely hopes that a new council can be a new start for areas of Cheshire which have been neglected over previous years.

All the residents of this ward deserve the opportunity to learn, work and play to the height of their abilities, and only a good local authority can provide this.

He hopes the residents of Macclesfield West will elect him and his Conservative Colleagues to deliver this new start.
