Julia has lived in Chillerton for the last 16 years, after returning from Germany to bring her children into the UK school system and care for her parents in the family home. The latter has given her a good understanding of the issues with care and the amount of (or lack of) support available to Islanders and their families. Julia is passionate about helping those who are struggling in our society and facing the many challenges that old age or poverty brings.
Although Julia is new to the prospect of becoming a member of the IW Council, as a certified NLP ( Neuro-Linguistic Programming) coach, trainer and therapist she is a good listener, mediator and able to see things from different perspectives. Julia is a strong candidate to represent the people in this ward and give them a voice whilst working alongside other members of the council, regardless of their political allegiance.
Julia is determined to help in any way to keep Chillerton & Rookley school open and to support its growth.
She is also determined to prevent oil drilling or fracking from ever taking place on our Island – which is particularly important for the residents of Arreton and Godshill.
“I’m standing because I believe I can represent our community needs whilst working with other councillors in finding the best solutions for our Island.”
