Labour candidate for Town

Labour

Having grown up in a household with profoundly deaf parents, I have a strong sense of caring for the wider community so that everyone can take part. I care deeply about rebuilding public services and protecting the vulnerable. My working background until retirement was in accountancy, taxation and internal audit. I would work with all parties at county level to ensure that local government reorganisation proceeds smoothly.
