Labour candidate for Shaw

Labour

I've lived in Westlea since moving to Swindon in 1988 to begin my nurse training at Princess Margaret Hospital. I've served as a councillor for twenty years. I've loved raising my children here, and now my grandchildren. Like you, I want the best for our community.
