I have been a town councillor since 2003 and look forward to representing residents during this term of office. I am proud to say I have always lived in Sedgefield Parish. My father was a farmer at Bog Hall farm where I was brought up. Upon my marriage in 1964 I farmed at Hopper House Farm which is now run by my son and his wife. Understandably I am the voice for the rural residents (10%) who at this point in time contribute 20% of the precept! Please attend meetings and have your say.

As always, there are plenty of major issues to address in Sedgefield. As the town grows, we need to ensure that the characteristics that make our community so special are sustained and that new development is not excessive.

I look forward to playing my role in that and in improving youth provision, enhancing facilities and events for everyone, and working closely with community groups.

I came to live in Sedgefield in 1960, and my two children were born here and attended the local primary schools. My working life was divided into two parts, being the owner of Jayne Fashions Ltd. and Customer Services Manager at Filmco International on the trading estate.

Sedgefield is the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of North East England. Specifically, our lovely Village centre. However there are many challenges ahead as the town develops and I'm keen to preserve that ‘Village Heart’. This can be done by ensuring that any new development recognises that special character, are not excessive and are only a positive contribution. For example, improving walking/cycling access into the centre should be a priority. We can also recognise how the town has changed over the past decade or so. Winterton Hospital gone - and in its place, a world class Technology Centre (NET Park) which is positive development for now and our next generation.
The other issue close to my heart is gaining the engagement of the younger people of our town. How can we share the local issues, gain useful feedback and involve everyone in sustaining and improving Sedgefield?
