Jon was co-opted onto the Council in May 2026.

I was born at Zachary Merton Hospital within the village and remained in the local area until I was 17 years old, at which point I joined the Armed Forces (Army) and served for 22+ years. I returned most weekends when I was not away in foreign countries and played football for Rustington FC and I became part of the Sports and Social Committee so that I could help the community in any way that I could. I also trained as a Lifeboat Crew member and spent 7 years on the crew at Littlehampton. As you can see, my life has been dedicated to helping the communities around me. I met my wife Donna in Rustington 27 years ago. My heart and soul belongs in Rustington and I want to represent the residents, listening to their views, informing them of subjects that may be affecting them and working as part of a team to collectively lead the village in the right direction that will get the best resources and services that our community deserves.
