Michael Wild – Independent
I have been married to Kathlyne for over 40 years. I have three grown up children and eight grandchildren. I have spent most of my working life in Public Service. Whilst at school, I was a member of the Army Cadet Force and a middle distance runner representing the County on several occasions.
Whilst in the TA, I met my wife to be. We married in 1980 and lived in Newton Aycliffe. At this time I was working in Shildon as a semi-skilled engineer making building dryers. I joined the Metropolitan Police Force 1982. In 1992 I joined the Civil Service. My working career has been dominated by serving the public. Managing people and situations to ensure a safe environment for the public. Serving with the Metropolitan Police and Civil Service has been 27 years of my working life. I have developed acute communication skills and an ability to solve problems and manage people using tact, diplomacy and good humour. Report writing and computer knowledge are skills acquired through experience and training in public service.
Past employment includes experience in a factory environment, the building trade, professional driving (bus driver for London transport, taxi driver in London and multi drop driver), market trader and a transport manager for Europa Freight (a large import, export logistics company).
My last seven years were with Home Group Ltd where I started as a support worker in their younger person’s service. Then a support worker in their adult mental health services and eventually a housing manager for the older people’s service at Bluebell Close. I am passionate about Aycliffe and its future, for the present and next generations. I will do my utmost to endeavour to make a better future for the West Ward and the town as a whole.
Independent Councillors hold 17 seats on Great Aycliffe Town Council, out of 30. Party politics has little or no place on the Town Council which the Independents have proved beyond any doubt.
We are the largest group on the Council. No party whip, no party political dogma, no blindly obeying orders. Just a diverse group of individuals working very closely together, as a team, very successfully . . . cooperatively, on your behalf.
