Early life

He was born in the Rother Valley.

Rotherham council offices in September 2005

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council

He was elected to the council in May 1988. He unsuccessfully attempted to be selected as the Labour candidate for Wentworth in 1996.

He became leader of the council in 2003, resigning on Tuesday 26 August 2014[1] after local revelations were announced at New York Stadium, home of Rotherham United F.C. The council's chief executive at the time was Martin Kimber. He was suspended from the Labour Party on 2 September 2014 in the wake of the Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal.

He quit as a councillor on 27 November 2014.[2] He had represented the Silverwood ward, near the former Silverwood Colliery. His seat was to be held vacant until an election on 7 May 2015, when Labour won back the seat. All three seats in the ward were up for election again in the all out elections in Rotherham in 2016.

Personal life

He lives in Kilnhurst, north-east of Rotherham, off the B609, near the railway (Dearne Valley Line). In the 2009 Birthday Honours he was made on OBE for services to local government in Rotherham.[3]

He married Dorothy Edwards in 1962 in the Rother Valley. They had a daughter in 1965.
