"It is important that the fire service attracts more women and ethnic minorities so that it can work more effectively in partnership with local authorities and other organisations to meet the needs of local people."
Personally, if my house is on fire or I'm trapped in a crashed vehicle, I won't care if the I just want someone who is well trained & motivated and will do the best possible job and not someone who is there to meet some politically-correct quota.

The fire service needs to be representative of the area it serves.

Personal Statement:
I spent a number of years working for BBC television and then the Open University working on distance learning courses in Technology.
I became a Parish Councillor for Eversholt (Beds) in 1987 before being elected as a District Councillor for Woburn in 1991(Chairman 2005 – 2007). Elected to Bedfordshire County Council in 1993. As a county councillor I have supported local schools and campaigned successfully for a new fire station for Woburn and a bypass for Ridgmont.
I am a key stakeholder for the Executive Leadership Programme and a member of the Learning and Development Board at the Fire Service College.
