Introducing the Stapleford Town Mayor

Ross Bofinger

I’m pleased to be Stapleford’s Mayor this year. I look forward to meeting many people during my time in office. As I attend events across Stapleford I want to support individuals, groups, organisations and businesses who work hard to benefit our local community. I will do my very best in the role and look forward to learning more about the town and the people who live and work here. Please do come along and join me at the local engagements I will be attending, introduce yourselves and share your thoughts.

My first contact with Stapleford was when I began attending the Baptist church on Albert Street in 1979. My wife and I then moved here in 1982 and our children were born here. When they were at William Lilley and Fairfield Schools, I was a parent governor. For a time, I was Chair of Governors at William Lilley School.

During lock down, I helped with a team organising volunteers to go shopping and pick up prescriptions for people who couldn’t go out. My wife and I delivered meals too.

As a member of the Baptist church, I’ve been involved in running children and youth groups for the last 40 years. The one that people seem to remember most is Friday Club. We’ve also taken the youngsters away for weekends and organised holiday clubs in the school summer holidays. More recently, I’ve been helping with things for older people at Church too. If you’ve been to the Stapleford Christmas lights switch on over the last few years, you may have seen me dressed as various characters from the Christmas story. It was part of the Stapleford Churches Forum contribution.

I am currently a volunteer driver for The Helpful Bureau and have a great time meeting Stapleford people. I’m also one of those who collects donations from Tesco for The Haven food bank. Recently I was involved in the Stapleford Warm Spaces initiative.

As a town councillor, I’m part of the group which has been looking after most of the gardens in Walter Parker Square. 

I have been a secondary science teacher for about 40 years, now heading towards the end of my career, teaching two days a week.

Perhaps the last thing you need to know is that I’m an Australian and despite living in England most of my life, I’ll be supporting Australia in this summer’s Ashes series🏏

The charity I have chosen to support in my time as Mayor of Stapleford is BYH ( Broxtowe Youth Homelessness, you can find out more about this charity here
