Councillor - Holgate Ward
Personal Details
- I was born in the fishing port of Grimsby, Lincolnshire, one of ten children of a fisherman and a homemaker. I am married to Ian and have 4 children and 5 grandchildren. We moved to York 18 years ago when Ian was relocated to Nestle Rowntree.
- My work experience ranges from factory process work, retail, hospitality, leisure, call centre and finally a public service organisation. I worked as a volunteer advisor for the Citizens Advice Bureau for two years. My main interests are social housing, leisure, the historic built environment, homelessness, the environment and street crime.
- I have served on a number of council committees since being elected to Holgate ward in 2007, and have more recently served as the Labour Group’s Leisure, Culture & Social Inclusion spokesperson.
