- Long-term local resident - Historian, teacher and researcher - Environmental campaigner Shayne has lived in Chesterton for twenty years.

Full statement

She has worked as historian, lecturer, social policy researcher, editor, cinema usher and vegetable picker. Her daughter attended Milton Road Primary School and Chesterton Community College, where Shayne was heavily involved in helping organize PTA events.

Shayne says "The climate emergency is upon us. It needs to be at the centre of every decision and every action by the City Council. Transport - by foot, by cycle and by bus - is crucial. Having spent years trying to get around with small children, and frequently suffering disabling back pain, I know the difficulties many of us face in negotiating city streets.

I am passionate about the quality of our public spaces and about the built environment. Too much of what is being built is too big, too high and does not best serve our community. Cambridge deserves better."

If elected to the City Council, Shayne aims to listen and to serve the local and city-wide community.
