Colin moved to Moreton in 1973 whilst working as a Building Control Officer for the then North Cotswold Rural District Council, now Cotswold District Council.
He chose Moreton because of its central location for travel and the fact it had a Railway Station. He felt that although the town was growing it still had a "country town feel" about it.
All aspects of the Council's responsibilities are of interest to him. He said "I am a fairly level headed person and therefore believe I can offer stability to the Council, give my support to the Clerk, listen to the view of electorate and take these forward for discussion in Council".
Previously a Member of the Town Council from 1999 to 2013.
