What do you like best about Horbury & Ossett?
The people and businesses of these two distinct communities make this a great place to be involved with.
What does a typical day look like for you?
As a local Councillor no two days are the same.
It usually starts with checking overnight messages from social media and starting to go through emails received. I try to reply to all emails and messages within 24 hours as I feel this, it is only polite to do.
During the day there will be meetings with Council colleagues, community groups and residents. Although most of this year the meetings have been on ZOOM. I still try to meet with residents face-to-face if possible and usually outdoors. However, during this current lockdown, these are now only outdoor meetings if strictly necessary.
Where’s your favourite place to eat, and why?
This is a simple one to answer as I just love food! The choice across Horbury & Ossett is varied and suits all – great food, value and people.
Where’s your favourite place to meet friends, and why?
In the summer months anywhere outdoors.
Are you a member of, or do you support, any of the local clubs/organisations?
I am involved in lots of local organisations from the Royal British Legion to Horbury Village Partnership, from Friends of Illingworth Park to Friends of Horbury’s Parks, from Horbury Street Fayre to supporting our local schools.
Are you a Cat-person or a Dog-person?
I have two Siamese cats, DJ and Eva.
Anything else you would like to share with us?
Being a local Councillor to me means you should be easy to find and approachable. I hope that is what people think of me.
