Additional Information

I was first elected in 2011 to represent St Marys Ward, Arnold and following boundary changes was elected to serve Coppice Ward in 2015.  I am Chair of the Environment & Licensing Committee which has responsibility for taxi/private hire vehicle licensing as well licensed premises. I sit on Planning, Overview and Scrutiny, and Appointments & Conditions of Service committees and I am an appointed representative on Arnold Local Area Forum, Gedling CVS, Gedling Sure Start and Parking and Transport outside London.

 

I have been a Governor at Derrymount School and Robert Mellors Primary School for many years.

 

My first career was in teaching, but I moved to the voluntary sector when my children were young.  For many years, I worked in Early Years, initially as a practitioner, then as a development worker and eventually a senior manager.  I concluded my ‘working’ life as a training consultant on a part-time basis which gave me more time for political engagement.

 

My interests outside politics include reading, gardening, folk music and dance, swimming and trying to find time to utilise my old VW campervan.
