Councillor Andrew Rushton

What motivated you to become a councillor?

After growing up in Whittington I've always been interested in overseeing improvements of our local area, as well as making the district as a whole better for young people.

Background outside the council

Outside the council I'm finishing my studies of History and Politics at De Montfort University. I also spent a year studying in Prague on the final year of the ERASMUS+ programme. I've grown up in Whittington the majority of my life, going to Whittington Primary School and King Edwards VI for Secondary and 6th Form education.

Hobbies or interests

Outside of politics I play both Table Tennis and Cricket.
