About us: Neil McGovern

In follow up to Mike's previous post, here's a quick biography about me!

I was born in 1982, which makes me the youngest member of the City Council. As a child I was much traveled, living in Japan, Jordan and Yorkshire!

As my day job I work for Amino Communications, who make set top boxes for digital television. I have previously worked for web services companies, and prior to that I was a sound engineer at Sheffield University Student's Union, working for various well known bands.

With classic bad timing I had to move from King's Hedges Road in the middle of the last election campaign, and now live in Strathcarron Ct at the other end of King's Hedges.

My interests on the Council are in Community Services, and in particular I am the Young Person's Champion.

About us: Mike Pitt

So that you know a little more about the people representing you on the City Council we will each write a brief bio of ourselves.

I came to Cambridge as a student in 1993 and stayed in the City. My wife, Catherine, and I have lived in Kirkby Close since 1999. I worked for several years as a programmer, but retrained to become a teacher.

I now teach Mathematics at a comprehensive just south of Cambridge (Linton Village College). I am also a Governor of King's Hedges School.

I first stood in 2004 in King's Hedges, and was elected last year at my second attempt to become our second Councillor in the ward after Neale.

On the council I am Chair of the Housing Management Board, and sit on the Standards committee.
