I am a Labour councillor for Battle Ward, Reading.
I was first elected in May 2010 with 46% of the vote and re-elected in
2014 with 57%.
I am lead councillor for Culture, Sport and Consumer Services. I am also Chair of Art and Heritage forum and the Cultural Education Partnership. I am also a member of the Traffic Management Sub Committee.
I am the proud
patron of Reading Pride and was patron of Reading 2016 Year of Culture.
As well as the above I have also been very involved with the primary
school places issue, securing the £1.6 million developer contribution
from the Battle Hospital site for residents, getting a continuous
pedestrian/cycle path under the Cow Lane bridges, a new school in the
Oxford Road east and, of course, lots of casework.
I am an active trade unionist and member of Unite. I am a workplace rep as well as a member of the regional and national women's committees, regional committee and regional finance and insurance committee.
I have lived in Reading, and Battle Ward, almost my entire life. I now
live in the heart of the community I represent and I am enjoying being a
councillor.
