I ran Bembridge Art Gallery and retired in 2010. I became a Councillor in 2005 and have represented Haylands & Swanmore since then, except for 2013-2017 but was re-elected in 2017 and am the current. I have been a Governor at Haylands Primary since 2007 and in 2013 when the new school was built in Bettesworth Road I was very involved in the building process, including making sure the drainage was adequate and fit for purpose. I was responsible for finally getting Smallbrook roundabout rebuilt. I am currently Vice Chair of the IW Council.
