Profile

I am the retired manager of a GP practice.  I serve on several village committees and have been involved in major projects connected to two of these groups.  My role as a parish councillor includes environmental issues, support for all fundraising events organised by village groups and advising on applications for local and national grants. My aims are to promote community engagement with parish, district and county councillors and I regularly attend the monthly ‘Councillors’ Corner’ at the library to discuss local issues with residents.
