Full statement

She will be a strong voice for residents on the County Council and reflect their concerns. Particularly, where there are issues of infrastructure relating to development. She believes in building in the right places but is passionate about defending our green spaces and biodiversity, and integrity of our villages. She believes good arable land should be preserved for domestic food production. Drawing on her career in finance she will continue the good work the Conservative led KCC has done to make sure there is sound financial management at a time when some Councils have been going into administration and putting up Council taxes beyond the legislated amount of 5%.
