Working in cybersecurity for over 25 years having moved all over the UK with my family, we finally settled in “old” Drakelow in September 2018 after a period living in Brizlincote. I now work for myself with my own consultancy. I am also a parent governor at Springfield Junior School in Swadlincote.
Over my time here, I’ve watched Drakelow grow from a single street with a “small” development at the end of it (Drakelow Park phase 1), adding the Bluebell Woods development (The Sidings) behind Rosliston Road South, Drakelow Park grow to completion, and now the Dracon development which will eventually grow to the point that it will join up with Drakelow Park and the rest of the village.
Despite all this development and being the fastest growing area in South Derbyshire, we currently have zero facilities for the community within the parish. There are however many things planned over the next 2 to 5 years. My goal is to ensure that these all happen and that all the section 106 money that come from these developments in the parish, is spent in the parish, ensuring Drakelow gets the facilities it now desperately needs as our community grows from a few hundred residents to thousands!
