Me and my council work
I am a Frontline Councillor – and until May I was Cabinet Member for Children Services.
I have been the County Councillor for Wendover and Halton since 1999. I am also a School Governor for three Schools and a member of the Youth Club Management Committee. I currently chair the local action group, Wendover HS2, working to try to change the proposed route for the High Speed Train 2 which would be pretty devastating for Wendover.

My Typical Day
Often the phone starts ringing at 8.30am!
Breakfast of coffee and toast while I try the codewords puzzle in the paper, just to get the brain into working mode. Currently I get lots of phone calls and emails on HS2, and spend a lot of time planning meetings and authorising publicity and fund-raising. Maybe meetings locally or at County Hall, but not so many now I am no longer a Cabinet Member. When I can, a stroll down the High Street to meet local people, where I pick up on local concerns and opinion. There are still lots of papers to read, and often a meeting in the evening – anything from a school governing body to the local village hall management committee.

What I'd do as "Youth Champion"
I firmly believe that every child deserves the best opportunities we can offer, not only in education but in the wider context of opportunities outside schools, and will continue to fight for this.
Learning should be fun and something you want to go on doing even after you leave education – something I feel very strongly about as school was not a happy experience for me. We need to listen to your views on how we can best do this and in some cases how we can involve parents more in supporting their children. I will use whatever influence I have to try to make sure this happens, and that your views are heard by those who take decisions, both locally and nationally.
