Having lived and worked in Chelmsley Wood for more than 30 years, Neil brings significant knowledge to the role and understanding of the economic and social challenges that the community faces. 

Neil said: “I am proud to be part of this community and be the chair for this fantastic opportunity we now have. I've lived and worked here for most of my life, my family grew up here and I know how special our community already is. This is a chance for us all to work together and be part of something to make our community even stronger.” 

As Chair, Neil will:

  • drive local priorities
  • strengthen community partnerships
  • help shape the programme’s long‑term effect across Chelmsley Wood
