The Cabinet

Ben Simpson, Cabinet member for Waste, Recycling and Green Spaces.

I have proudly lived in Bradwell and Newcastle all of my life, building strong local connections through both my business and community involvement. As the owner of a family funeral directors and secretary of Bradwell WMC, I am passionate about supporting local families and serving the community with care, commitment and professionalism.
 

I stood to be a councillor because I care deeply about our local community and wanted to give something back to the area that has been my home all my life. I wanted to be a strong voice for local people, help improve our area and make sure the community is properly represented and listened too. 
 

As portfolio holder for waste, recycling an green spaces, I want to focus on delivering cleaner streets, improving recycling rates, and protecting green spaces that local people value most. I’m also passionate about protecting our parks, cemeteries and public green spaces so they remain well maintained for everyone to enjoy. 
 

Most importantly, I want residents to feel proud of where they live and confident that the council is delivery practical improvements that make a real difference to everyday life.”
