Councillor career
Fareham was first selected as the Conservative candidate for the ward of Newland in the 1983 Kingston upon Hull City elections, a position he held until 1994 when he decided not to seek re-election.[1] Fareham stood alongside two other Conservative councillors, however, received the fewest number of votes with 1,828.
In 1997, Fareham stood again for the ward of Newland but was unsuccessful as New Labour made landslide gains across the country in the 1997 general election. He stood again in 1998 and was successfully elected. Following a review of the electoral boundaries, Fareham moved to the ward of Bricknell, where he is currently the councillor.
In 2021, Fareham became de facto leader of the Conservative group, following the election defeat of Cllr. John Abbott who had been accused of sexual assault.
Flytipping Scandal
In 2021, Councillor Fareham received a fine of £400 from Hull City Council for illegally dumping rubbish (Flytipping).[2]

In 2018, Fareham married Dehenna Davison, a Conservative MP for Bishop Auckland, who is 35 years his junior.[3] The couple appeared together on the Channel 4 documentary series Bride and Prejudice, which showed their wedding at the Guildhall, Kingston upon Hull.
