A MALVERN councillor is planning to use pedal power to raise £1,000 for charity.

Julian Roskams, who represents West Malvern on Malvern Hills District Council, starts a five-day, 500-mile adventure on his bike around Holland on Wednesday to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. Coun Roskams, pictured right, said he had always been a supporter of the charity, but the care it provided to a close family friend “really brought home the work they do”.
