Title - Mount Pleasant Ward

Chris Wall

Councillor Chris Wall was born in Birmingham and educated in Solihull and Oxfordshire.

Career History:
Chris spent many years teaching local history in Warwickshire and surrounding counties.  The National Curriculum moved in and Chris moved out.

The exciting years that followed were spent working in security.  Tragedy struck one night whilst on duty and Chris was semi-blinded.

After a spell at the RNIB Torquay, Chris returned home with a white stick and a new career in the entertainment industry.  The owner of a massive collection of 78 RPM gramophone records, Councillor Wall now entertains the generation that brought us safely through the Second World War.  He travels extensively visiting residential, nursing homes and clubs throughout the country.  He has appeared on radio and television.  To date, the pinnacle of Chris’ career was appearing twice with the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

Community Interests
:
Councillor Wall was elected to the Town Council on 4 May, 2006 and now serves on the Council’s Mayoral and Protocol Committee and the General Purposes Committee.  Chris is also the Council’s appointed representative to the Stratford-in-Bloom Committee.

He has spent seven years as a tenant representative for South Warwickshire Housing Association.  This has enabled him the opportunity to support tenants with housing issues.  During this period he was on the committee that helped form Bishopton Residents Association, the SWHA Garden Competition and a founder member of that organisation’s Green Team.

As a member of Friends of the Earth, he has been able to work closely with Environmental Health and other departments supporting green issues.

Leisure Activities
Music plays a major part in Chris’ leisure time.  Popular music from the first fifty years of the 20th Century and a study of popular entertainment during the war years has made him a much sought after after-dinner speaker.

Chris enjoys his garden and can often be seen maintaining the area that surrounds the block of flats where he resides.

As an amateur historian Chris enjoys research into many historical subjects.
