In Joanne's own words

Born and raised in the ward Joanne is a passionate advocate for residents, Well known for her years of volunteering in the area and her warm and friendly nature. On being asked why she was running she simply stated "I'm not the most political person but I've reached the limit to what I can achieve as a resident, By running I'm hoping I can go further and help more people " After meeting her while she was out on her campaign I found her an absolute breath of fresh air, A very genuine young lady who comes across as refreshingly honest with a keen sense of humour.
