Diane Hilda Furlong

Conservative candidate for Rowner & Holbrook

Conservative

I currently represent Hardway as Ward Councillor, with a total 9 year experience. My family is important and helping with grandchildren a priority, but Gosport is a large part of my life, having always lived here and I am always ready to listen to, support and try to help, whether as Councillor, friend, or colleague. My voting record shows I vote positively and haven’t missed any Council Boards or Meetings in the last five years.
