I have lived in Carpenders Park for 34 years. I came to live in Hertfordshire as a bride, a new county and a new future.

We had three children who were all born in Watford General Hospital and educated locally, all gaining a university place. My son is a District Councillor in Wiltshire and a prospective candidate in the General Election. My eldest daughter is a Doctor and my youngest is a Physiotherapist. As I have worked in our local Health Centre for many years as Office Manager and then in Watford General Hospital as a Coding Officer you can see that the conversation in our house is centred around Politics and the National Health Service.

I have been a Watford Rural Parish Councillor for three years and a Three Rivers District Councillor for two years. My main objective is to deal with the problems that the residents, like myself have concerns about.

I live here and if I have worries then there must be others that have them to.

At ever stage of our lives we have different priorities, just because yours is not the same as your neighbours this does not mean that it is not important.

I want to cover all these concerns.

Anti social behaviour, education, youth services, transport, the state of our roads and pavements and of course the health service a subject near to my heart.

I hate the Council Tax lets have a fairer local income tax based on ability to pay.
