Cllr David Cook

David Cook was a former Labour councillor who served from 2005 to 2017. As a retired civil servant, his political focus was on social housing and public services. He was a pragmatic and detail-oriented voice on the council, bringing his professional expertise to the planning and execution of improvements to social housing. Cook's experience in the civil service made him an invaluable member of committees tasked with overseeing large-scale public projects. He was a champion for long-term strategic planning, believing that sound infrastructure was the foundation of a prosperous community. His focus on infrastructure remains a critical topic for Ambridge, especially as the council prepares for the complex task of harmonizing the public works and infrastructure plans of five different councils into a single unitary authority.
