Andrew Burrow

Solihull Borough Councillor - Meriden
Parish Councillor - Berkswell

Dear Resident

I have lived in Balsall Common,on the Berkswell parish side, for over 25 years. I came back to the West Midlands with my career in industry. I retired early from corporate management and, in a back to front career move, set up as a plumber after gaining my city and guilds.

Meeting local people people through plumbing and being an active member of the Berkswell Society, I got involved in the local parish councils. Given the huge change that will impact Meriden ward over the coming years, I sought election to the Borough Council to do my utmost to secure the best deal for residents and keep this a lovely place to live.
