Feeling brave?
Telford Batman, also know as Councillor Jay Gough, from Donnington in Telford
Jay, who admits to having watched the film more around 400 times, said he had the fundraising idea while watching the movie again and enjoying a glass of wine at home with his wife Rachel."Once I commit myself to something, I never back down," said Jay, who remains a parish councillor in Donnington but lost his borough council berth by an agonising 14 votes in May's local elections. He says he loves being a councillor because he loves the area.
Since then he has tried to make himself busy with work as an IT manager, raising money for charity and as a councillor.He is known locally for raising money as the Telford Batman, with money going to Hope House and Children With Cancer UK."One day I was just scrolling through my phone and I came across a video of a chap who made his own Batman suit, and how he does school visits and charity events and suddenly I just thought – I’ve got to do this, I need to do it. Telford needs a Batman.
During the pandemic, Jay would don one of his suits for his Government-mandated walks, reaching out to his local community on Facebook.
