I was born in Bridgwater and have lived in Street since 1985. I worked as a teacher in London from 1971 until 1985, and worked in Somerset schools until medical retirement in 2002, my last job being Special Needs Co-ordinator at St Benedicts Junior School in Glastonbury.
This is my third term on Street Parish Council and my motivation for standing this time is that we are headed for great change locally and I am interested in being part of that decision making.
