Introducing Chris Griffiths:

I am probably one of the least local new candidates having only relocated to the area three years ago. I moved to the area with my wife Jemma and son – who has now relocated to Hampshire and our dog. I have a strong professional background in retail having worked at management level for some large national organisations. In the last five years I have moved into a Facilities Management role at a National Level. You may have heard me on the local radio where I present a regular show. 

Having been on our local Parish Council where we used to live, when we relocated this is something I was keen to do again. I was co-opted onto the Midsomer Norton Town Council and was known for challenging the status quo and this was not always well received. After some decisions were made in which I disagreed with I resigned from the council.  

I am confident that with new people hoping to join the council we will finally be in a position to act in the interests of the wider public and not the individuals on the council. I would love to be a part of the new council and will continue to ask the difficult questions. I am also hoping to join B&NES council so that I can help the representation of Midsomer Norton.
