Role: Alliance Secretary

Chris wants to see a Dover Town Council working for the people, rather than for a London based Party, he knows that the Town & Pier Wad has the richest history in the town. Instead of seeing it become a motorway exit and Harbour Board building site he wants to see the history preserved and presented in a way that attracts visitors to Dover in the sort of numbers that would normally head for Hastings.

As family men, Chris has 3 young children and a 4th on the way, he wants to see Dover gain a thriving social infrastructure to go with a variety of good jobs and business opportunities. Chris is a full-time carer to his children, having previously run pubs and works as a support tutor in he local Job Club. He is also a Parent Governor at Aycliffe Community Primary School and sits on the NCH Dover Family Support Steering Group.

I have lived and worked in the Dover area all my life, I am 58 years of age, I attended the Archers Court school, which I left in the mid-sixties to take up an apprenticeship at the then Tilmanstone colliery.

Since this time I have had several careers and currently I have worked for the last twelve years with Eurotunnel in their railway sector. I am married to Carol, we have five children the youngest now 25, my pride and joy are my grand children Megan, 4 and Joshua, 2.

My main interest in life is fighting for the survival of Dover Athletic Football Club, to this end I helped to set up and organise the supporters trust. I am also well known throughout the world of "carnival" in the Kent area.

If re-elected, it would be my ambition to help to return this town to something like the town I remember as a child and a young man. Since becoming a councillor I have become known as the "CRIMBO KING", for my work in organising the Christmas lights, and ensuring they come down on time.
