I am very involved with many activities in the town, from the Abbey to the Scouts, however I had never previously thought of running for office. I am not a politician. But I do want to improve our community. I want to get things done.I believe we have a strong sense of community here in Hexham, and we can achieve great things when we work together.
The County Council needs to do more for Hexham:
- from small things, like tackling litter and graffiti, and smartening up or town
- to helping our retailers fight back so that we have a town centre we are all proud of
- to big things like backing our campaign for investment in our high school, and upgrading our bus station.
I launched the campaign to fight for investment in Queen Elizabeth High because, as a mum of three myself, I know our kids deserve a high school which is fit for the future. I will be pushing hard for funding to make that a reality.
I also know how important our local NHS is. I am determined to protect the quality of services at Hexham General Hospital.
I won’t be making any big promises I can’t keep. The only promise I will make is that I will work hard to do my best to serve our local community.
