I've lived in Gilmorton, with my partner, Andy, since 2008. I work mainly from home, spending my working days talking to faces on a computer screen, so I look forward to getting out for a run around our local lanes! You can easily spot me out running most days, wearing the bright orange shirt of our lovely Gilmorton Gazelles running group.

In addition to serving as a Parish Councillor, I am a member of the Gilmorton Playing Fields Association committee, and a member of the organising committee for the annual Beer Festival. I'm also involved in the production and distribution of the village newsletter.

As a walker, runner, cyclist, motorcyclist, and horse rider (as well as being a car driver!) I have a particular interest in traffic issues, road safety, and the protection of vulnerable road users, and I lead in this area for the Council. I also have an interest in planning and development and how we balance our obligations for additional housing with maintaining our village culture.
