TWO YEARS ON …

Two years on from getting elected as ward member for Balderton South at District and Parish I have also taken on the role as The Chair of Newark and Sherwood District and Vice Chair of Balderton Parish Council,  the reasons I decided to stand have not changed ,but have intensified.  I now have the opportunity to change things 

and represent people not a political party,  this is not always easy but I will strive to so the best for my residents .

Working as a shop manager in Balderton and also calling the village my home for most of my life has left me totally invested in Balderton and the District.  As a councillor and dog walker I am always around to talk too, to get help from and to promote the needs of our communities,  getting planters , bins ,dog bins and play equipment on part of my ward that has been neglected for quite a while , bringing pride back into the area. Joining with community groups both local and District wide , getting residents perspective and dealing with their problems , I am always here to listen . Working with NSDC to create a new community garden in Balderton. 

It is my pleasure to work with all the amazing independent councillors at Balderton Parish Council , getting safer streets funding which has been spent wisely to massively reduce instances if ASB in Balderton. Creating a newletter which is delivered to every household, holding meet a greet seasons a Website and Facebook page make the council open and transparent. 

My priorities are the same as yours and as such I will strive to create connected communities ,better economies  more socially mobile learning facilities  for our great district .
