This weekend I was in Derby for a friends Thanksgiving service. I was born in Derby and lived nearby until I was about 2 1/2. It was lovely to see the places I have been told about - Kilburn, Belper etc. I have very few memories of my time there but it still felt special. I didn't get the chance to visit my old house so I think we will all go for a trip and visit the places of my toddlerhood.
Reading is very much my home though, especially Battle ward. When we moved to Reading we moved to Battle and I live here now. I love the community and vibrancy of the place. I am glad my boys will grow up here and go to the same school as I did. My love for the area is one of the many reasons I wanted to become a councillor.
Welcome to my blog. I am using it to keep you updated on my work as a councillor for Battle ward, Chair of the Art and Heritage forum and an activist for Unite the Union. I cover the issues affecting Battle ward and Reading residents. There may also be the occasional random post about things I am interested in.
