I have been a member of Alvanley Parish Council since July 2023. I have lived in Alvanley since 1982 with my husband Bob.  We have two grown up daughters who attended the local schools.

I have worked in industry, commerce, education, retail and local government.  My last position was Helsby Parish Clerk where I worked from 2002 – 2020. During my time there, I undertook training and passed the AQA in Local Council Administration.

My aim for Alvanley is to ensure that it continues to thrive and keep pace with the challenges of everyday life. To conduct council business in an open transparent manner and to be accessible to the residents of Alvanley.

I have lived in the area for more than 30 years and bring extensive experience in establishing and managing multi‑functional organisations. My background includes detailed knowledge of financial systems, funding streams, health and safety, and both business and strategic planning. I currently run my own consultancy business across the Northwest, and these skills have proven invaluable in my work as an Alvanley Parish Councillor.

I moved from Helsby to Alvanley in 1963 and shortly afterwards was appointed Clerk to Alvanley Parish Council. In May 1976 I was elected a Parish Councillor for Alvanley at the local elections.

In 1977 I was appointed an Alvanley School Governor for our Primary school – a position I still hold. I also liaise with the Parochial Church Council for matters

regarding the churchyard. I have now retired and volunteer for village projects e.g. The Alvanley Village Design Statement which is now a registered document and other schemes to protect, enhance and improve our village for future generations.
