About John Charles Adams
I am a retired university professor who has lived in Harrogate for the past 17 years. A life-long member of the Labour Party (my grandfather was MP for South Hammersmith) I have a commitment to reducing inequality in UK which has deepened so much in the last decade. My professional expertise is in economics. At present I am Treasurer of a national charity, have chaired another, and have an MBE for services to education.
Our area is relatively prosperous, compared to much of the country, but there are major issues about social housing and transport and the need for career opportunities ( not just “jobs”) for young people.
