His biggest achievement was helping to deliver the new GP centre for Braunstone. 

he is an active Christian and is part of the leadership team at his local Baptist church in which he was until recently part of the music group, playing the drums. 

Ian is passionate about ensuring the NHS has the resources to deliver its services at the point of need and has recent experience of the best of its care as he was critically ill during the COVID epidemic. 

Care for the environment is also a major driver for Ian as he laments the state of our rivers and coasts. He says that there is no option for mankind other than to decarbonise and maintain and improve our planet for future generations. 

The Liberal Democrat ideals of Diversity which includes Equity and Equality  are also fundamental to Ian's beliefs. As a disabled man he has campaigned for representation and respect for all who are held back by society due to their disabilities or different abilities.
