Biography

Cllr. Davison has lived in Orlestone since childhood, and currently with his wife and son.  He has spent his professional life in the Steel and Engineering industries with American, French and mainly English companies.  For many years travelling the world for this work.

He agreed to stand for the Borough Council just over 8 years ago as neighbours asked him to represent them through the difficult times of Ashford development to come.  Cllr Davison became an Independent Councillor after a few years as he believes that local government should be free from Party Politics.

Cllr. Davison has been a Parochial Councillor, Chairman of Governors at Ham Street Primary School, a Friend of St Mary’s Orlestone, Chairman of the Julie Rose Stadium Co, and a member of the Romney Marsh Internal Drainage Board.  At Ashford Borough Council he has been and is on a number of committees.  He has been Chairman of Planning and currently chairs the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, Services and Partnerships.  He is fortunate to have five Parishes in his Ward, as it takes him around some of Kent’s most beautiful countryside when attending Parish Councils and discussing a huge range of matters with residents on issues ranging from Highways to Crime prevention.

His private interests are his family, sport, particularly water sports, gardening, travel, local history, and the Kent countryside and wildlife habitat.
