Janet Looker

Councillor - Guildhall Ward

Personal Details

  • I've been Councillor for Guildhall ward for over 20 years. I still believe that representing the city centre is a privilege and take my responsibilities for that very seriously. I am a Governor at Park Grove Primary School as well as more recently becoming Chair of Governors at Canon Lee Secondary School and enjoy the involvement with staff, pupils and parents that that gives me.
  • I am now retired, having worked as a solicitor in the city for over 25 years, but find my time is filled with council activities, community involvement and voluntary activity. I am on the Board of York Credit Union and serve at its Clifton Children’s Centre Savings Point once a month, valuing the opportunity to bring cheap and safe banking facilities to people who may feel excluded by the main high street banks.
  • I enjoy spending time with my family, particularly my four grandchildren, and when I have nothing else to do I walk the dog which goes a little way towards keeping me fit.
  • I served the city as Lord Mayor in 2004/5.
