UPDATE FROM DOUG June 2009 (word)

Doug, another of the new councillors, is passionate about Pembrokeshire and about Pembroke Dock in particular, a Town that he feels is under-resourced. He has given an undertaking to work hard for the residents of the Town and his wife Jill is editor of “Central News”. To this end he sits on four committees; being involved with the Police Authority Consultative Committee and is the Council representative on the local Police Forum. In addition, given his tolerance of ‘heavy reading’ he is on the Welsh Assembly Consultative Committee and for “litter” relief is involved with the Environmental Action Team.
With extensive qualifications in Management, Personnel and Health and Safety Doug worked in the Construction Industry and in Education and Training. He has chaired National Committees relating to Construction Industry NVQ’s and in the Development of Training for Adults.
Hobbies include Beach walking, Reading, Creative Writing, Quizzes, Genealogy and Jazz (a drummer whilst at University in London). Previously he was a keen rugby player and an active volunteer.
