Thorpe St.Andrew NW Town Councillor, Sprowston NE Town Councillor. Broadland District Councillor.
 
Nigel Shaw - your Conservative District and Town Councillor - moved to Norwich in the late 1960's when his mother took over as Head Teacher of Magdalen Gates First School, then called Bull Close Road Primary School.

Having worked for the Conservatives when a boy as a canvasser and a runner between the polling stations and the committee room of M.P. Tom Boardman, Nigel has always had slightly more then a passing interest in the political scene. More recently he was a canvasser for the Referendum Party and has staunch views on the Pound, Europe, Crime and Social Justice.

Nigel worked for the Halifax Building Society in Norwich, eventually moving into estimating and accountancy before finding his niche in the entertainment business when becoming a professional International D.J. and Radio Presenter. After working for almost ten years abroad and having travelled extensively throughout Europe, he moved back to the UK in the mid 80's and was involved with the licensing trade for a time. In 1987 he started his own wholesale business and has since trained as a web designer/developer. He now runs Legendary Web Design, based in Norwich together with a number of small internet businesses that he is expanding.
