“I am so pleased to be standing in the Neyland East area for Plaid Cymru in the upcoming county council election.

“I am a Pembrokeshire girl, and lived here my whole life, the last 17 years along the Haven area.

“My background is working within the healthcare sector also for the last 17 years, the majority of this in the community. I have seen the hardships people have in regards to daily living.

“For that reason alone, my decision to stand wasn’t a difficult one. Over the last few years we have all seen and been disgusted by what has gone on within the county council and now is the time for change!

“As a mother I want my daughter to grow up in an area she is proud to be part of. Neyland is a wonderful place to live, and I want to make sure that residents are not just listened to, but heard. I will be honest and open with you, if I don’t know the answer to a question I will tell you this, but I will find out and get back to you.

“I believe it is time to bring back logic and common sense to the council and look to the future.”

“I am honoured to have been nominated to stand for the ward of Neyland East on 4 May 2017. I have been serving my constituents diligently for 30 years and in that time I have assisted hundreds of individual residents with their problems. I have been at the forefront of providing community leadership. I have been  Mayor of Neyland seven times (including currently), a County councillor since 1995 and I also serve on many public bodies including being a magistrate since 2003. I care so passionately about Neyland and it’s people. I was born and educated in Neyland and live in the ward. I have been a school governor for 24 years and I am the current vice- chair of Neyland Community School. I have been the Learning Disabilities, Equalities and Older Person’s Champion for Pembrokeshire.

“I founded Age Concern Neyland in 1991 and in 1997 I was one of the first trustees of the Neyland Youth Project to help youngsters in the town. I was successful in keeping a youth club for Neyland when the Charles Street premises closed and have helped to secure social housing as was developed by the Pembrokeshire Housing Association in St Clement’s Road.

“I have written six books on Neyland, penned the words of the town anthem and have lectured extensively about the town and it’s rich social history. I have been an historian and ambassador for my home town.

“I am involved in numerous local organizations including being President if the Neyland Ladies Choir, Judo Club and Brunel Festival Committee.

“This election is about the future. If elected I faithfully promise to be accessible at all times, continue to listen and work tirelessly to implement the community plan which has been developed and which  has plans for improvement of play facilities, housing and public services. I stand on my record of public service for the people of Neyland. Please support me on 4th May.”
