Representing the people of Langley.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website.

My email address is ydavies16@btinternet.com.  Everyone is welcome to contact me via email and I will respond as soon as I possibly can.

I am still chief executive of Birmingham Citizens Advice Bureau and work full time.  This does mean that often I am in work during the day and out at meetings at night.  Please don't be put off from leaving a message on my answer machine, mobile or even sending an email.   I will return your call as soon as I possibly can. 

I thoroughly enjoy working for people in the area to get solutions that meet their needs.  Whilst it is sometimes difficult, I can promise you I will work hard to ensure the best possible result is obtained. See my short casestudies for the type of problem residents of Langley have asked for my assistance with.

I positively welcome contact from all residents of the area.

 I promise I will work hard to try and resolve any difficulties you may be experiencing or raise the issues that are important to you.

Current responsibilities:

I was appointed Chair of Audit  in May 2011 and am very much enjoying this role.

I am part of the Planning Committee which meets regularly to discuss planning applications across the whole of Sandwell.  Unfortunately this clashes occassionally with my CAB trustee Board meetings and I have not been able to make all the meetings as I would wish.

I am also a member of the Standards Committee  which oversees complaints about councillor's behaviour or actions.  This Committee has two sub-committees which look at detailed cases and make recommendations for action if appropriate.
