●●How are you connected to Rochdale?
I am connected to the beautiful people of Rochdale by standing on the 29th by-election. I am connected by phone, email, Whatsapp, and having a brilliant time meeting people from all walks of life!
●●What are the greatest challenges for the town?
I believe Rochdale has huge challenges ahead and I promise the people of Rochdale that I would not keep promises. I have no policies, no personality and no plan! But despite this I have had only positive vibes from everyone so far. At least I’m honest.
●●How do you plan to serve the people of Rochdale?
We always do things a little different in the OMRLP, if we haven’t got a clue we get to the point and sort it out.
For example they all laughed at our Passports for Pets, then years later it happens.
I would like Homes for Hedgehogs, again people are laughing but if all new build housing in Rochdale had these I’m sure the hedgehogs would thrive again. People may vote for other problems elsewhere but I believe the people would prefer a 99p coin lol.
●●How are you connected to Rochdale?
I was born and raised in Rochdale. I have a deep understanding of the issues facing our community.
My educational journey led me through Sacred Heart Primary, St Joseph’s Middle School and finally, Bishop Henshaw High School.
At the age of 17, I met my wife, Lindsey, and together, we’ve built a life surrounded by our four children while successfully managing our local business, David Tully Ltd, a vehicle repair centre.
My early years were marked by a passion for rugby league, initially playing for Rochdale Mayfield youth and open age sections along with representing Lancashire.
I also represented Rochdale Rugby Union and assisted the coaching of their youth section.
I support and hold a season ticket for Rochdale AFC. I am actively involved in charity work supporting causes such as the British Heart Foundation, the MND Association and other local charities such as the SG6 Foundation.
Throughout my life I have remained connected and dedicated to the wellbeing
