Philip Hickson has lived in Derby
all of his life as do his family. Philip followed a varied career in
the Civil Service after leaving Derby Grammar School and has done a
wide range of voluntary work in the City over many years.
He first became involved in local
and national politics at the age of 21 and has fought many elections
since then. He therefore has considerable experience of both local
politics and of Council work.
Philip is also the chair of the
Derbyshire Police Authority and a Magistrate.
He has a keen interest in local
politics and is well known for his clear and outspoken views on local
issues and his stance against red tape, bureaucracy and ridiculous
political correctness. An outstanding public speaker, Philip is a
feared opponent in the Council Chamber where his tight grasp of
issues and his articulate contributions to debates are clear to see.
Philip is passionately interested
in the City of Derby and its development and is an outspoken advocate
on the City's behalf at a local and national level.
He fights hard to protect the
interests of local residents and is keen to protect the special
nature of Allestree particularly from unwelcome building
developments, rising crime and anti-social behaviour. Philip is
particularly keen to make sure the high quality and tranquility of
life in Allestree is protected for its residents.
His leisure interests include
playing the piano, the theatre, travel, eating out and learning languages |
