Barbara Boyce

Councillor - Heworth Ward

Personal Details

  • I was born and bred in York and attended Haxby Road Primary School and Mill Mount Grammar School. My father was a bricklayer. I work teaching IT and computing to young people at York College and adults at Burnholme Community College. Before this I worked for City of York Council in a role which involved close working with Councillors and senior officers so I am well aware of the responsibilities and problems faced by the Council.
  • I also have experience of contesting and winning elections. I have been a parliamentary candidate and was successfully elected to Rotherham Borough Council and Beverley Town Council before returning to live in York. I have been a trade union member since I was 18 and am now a member of the UCU.
  • I have caring responsibilities for my elderly mother. Another major interest is animal welfare and I am Chairman of the local RSPCA. I don't really have time for hobbies, but I do enjoy travel, cookery, films and talking and listening to other people.
  • All in all I know York, I understand what the Council needs and I share many of the life experiences and problems faced by the people I shall represent.
