Interests
I have a number of interests. I am a sitting councillor on Falkirk Council. For five years, I was resources portfolio holder, which is on finance. For the past four years, I have been housing portfolio holder. Also, I have just completed my employment with a company as a CSRT—certified surveyor in remedial treatments—and a certified surveyor in structural waterproofing. I am very knowledgeable on Awaab’s law and various other things relating to houses. I have worked in the property industry for more than 30 years.
