Hello! My name is Christopher Stalford and I am the DUP Councillor for the Laganbank area of Belfast. Laganbank covers Rosetta, Shaftesbury, Stranmillis, Botanic and Ballynafeigh wards and this blog is intended as a resource for my constituents to let them know about the work I am engaging in on their behalf, the issues I am raising at council and general comment on some of the issues in the news headlines.
Born and raised in South Belfast, I attended Nettlefield Primary School, Wellington College Belfast and Queens University, graduating in 2004 with a degree in Politics and Modern History. I am currently employed by Peter Weir MLA (soon to be MP!) and Jim Allister QC MEP, as well as penning a weekly column at the News Letter.
