Hi. Welcome to my page on the
Barrow Council website. I am one of your Labour Councillors for
Ormsgill along with Lovinia Williams
and Bill McEwan. Our contact details are all on here but you can
also get in touch with us through our Facebook site 'Ormsgill Labour Councillors'.
For the last 25 years
I have worked for Cumbria County Council. My job title changed
every couple of years but I basically worked with community groups,
sports clubs and charities. I am proud to have been involved in
setting up projects like Sure Start, Barrow CVS and Barrow Sports
Council which have had an ongoing benefit to our community as well
as helping to improve numerous sports and community
facilities.
Since taking
voluntary redundancy from the County Council in 2014, due mainly to
ill health, I now work a few hours a week for Barrow Sports
Council.
When I finished
working for the County Council, I wanted to carry on supporting my
community in some way. I was born in Pine Road and went to
Ormsgill School so I was really pleased
to have a chance to become a Councillor for Ormsgill. The Council obviously doesn’t have
unlimited resources to do everything we would like but I hope I can
make a difference. Myself, Lovinia and
Bill are happy to work with anyone to make Ormsgill a better place for our
community.
