Hayley had three daughters from previous relationships and I am now proud they see me as their dad. I legally adopted my youngest daughter in 2013 just before her 18th birthday and second only to my wedding it was one of the proudest moments of my life. My eldest daughter has also given me a granddaughter who is now 6 and who can wrap me round her little finger. When i moved to wales I fell in love with the area and soon found how welcoming the community was and before long it felt like I have lived here all my life. I am a Fully qualified electrician and have worked in the construction industry since leaving school. I have worked in roles including site manager and delivery manager as well an electrical foreman and charge hand. I helped form the Fochriw & Pentwyn Residents association in 2010 and I now hold the position of chairman. I also hold the position of Vice chairman for the United Valleys Action Group a cross community group set up in 2010 to fight the Covanta incinerator (a fight we were successful in) and who are now actively campaigning to stop the Nant Llesg open cast. As you can see in the short time I have lived here I have come to love the area and the people who live here. I have tried my hardest to protect both my community and the wider area from threats as they have arisen. With your help I can help build a better future for you and your children. Eddy Blanche |
