As the chair of Chillerton and Gatcombe Parish Council, I have led on creating an up-to-date emergency plan. Through my leadership, four parish councils are now collaborating via the Ward Liaison Group. This has led to the exciting Greening Campaign which is seeing real results in Central Rural. I grew up in a Conservative supporting household, but I have always held strong environmental values. I work as a coach, NLP trainer and therapist. It would be a real privilege to represent the communities of Central Rural, which has been my home for many years.
