I am a local resident, a farmer and businesswoman from Walton-on-Trent; I understand our local issues and priorities because I live them.
At council elections, local people are always more important than Party politics: All too often a national Party policy simply doesn’t deliver at local level.
Government’s overhaul of planning legislation rides roughshod over residents’ views. I will stand-up against inappropriate and excessive development, and unfair increasing use of retrospective planning applications as a means for developers to ignore our community. Planning must be sustainable, green and community-led.
Our healthcare provision in Seales Ward and Drakelow is inadequate and unacceptable; as your local councillor, I will continue to fight for proper GP access.
I will champion the environment and biodiversity, working on behalf of residents to protect our green spaces and safeguard our villages against overweight vehicles, excessive traffic volume and speeding.
The silent blight of fly-tipping and of rural crime needs a councillor who lives in the community they serve to really appreciate and address the issues.
