Keith Ward lives on Wheatmore Road. ‘‘I have lived in Sutton all of my life. I have run one of the Town's best known pubs (The Station) for 13 years and am a board member for the Sutton Coldfield Business Improvement District. It was my involvement with the BID that made me want to stand for the Parish Council. Sutton needs local people with local knowledge backed up by an experienced and organised party. Sutton has been a massive part of my life and now I want to play a small part in the town's life.’’

Keith was elected as one of the first Parish Councillors for the Royal Town in May 2016.
