Barbara Boyce
Councillor - Heworth Ward
Personal Details
- I am York’s newest councillor, elected to the Council at a by-election in September 2009. I know that I am still learning, but it is a real privilege to represent the people oF Heworth Ward, and my Ward colleagues and I do our best to be the human face of local government to our residents.
- I was born in York and attended Haxby Road Primary School and Mill Mount Grammar School. I am a graduate of the University of Bradford and Sheffield Hallam University. My father was a local bricklayer. My mother is now nearly 90 and increasingly in need of care. I work teaching IT and computing to 16-18 year olds, many of whom have special needs.
- Before becoming a York councillor I had experience of contesting and winning elections. I have been a parliamentary candidate and was successfully elected to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council and Beverley Town Council before returning to live in York.
- My interests both politically and personally are education, health and the local economy. Another major interest is animal welfare and I am a trustee of the local RSPCA. I don't really have time for hobbies, but I do enjoy travel, cookery, films, quizzes and talking and listening to other people.
