“In Carol's own words
“I have lived in Woodley since 1966 with the last 18 years in Kingfisher Drive. I am retired from my job as a technical writer in the construction sector.”
“I am a Woodley Town Councillor for South Lake having served since 1979 with a 16-year break. I also was a District (now Borough) Councillor for 12 years. I have a particular interest in cycling and youth facilities and the effects of the climate emergency,.”
“I recently set up the Woodley Repair Café which aims to repair items rather than bin them; the Café has an amazing team of fixers and volunteers and has proved very successful.”
“I spend a lot of time walking and cycling around the local area. I know the area well and often spot issues such as potholes and fly tipping and report them so they get fixed.”
“My involvement in the community includes being a School Governor in South Lake, regular litter picker with WASP (Woodley Adopt-a-Street) and I am a volunteer gardener with the Wokingham Volunteer Centre.”
“If elected, I would make sure Woodley’s voice is heard on the borough council, and ensure it gets the support it needs.”
