My name is Anne Callaghan, and I am delighted to have been selected to be the Labour Party candidate for my home ward of Hornby.

Full statement

I have lived in Mansfield Woodhouse all my life, raising my own family; this is my home village and I know how much of an honour it is to represent the place we call home.

It is my deepest desire to represent my friends, family and residents and to act as your voice on the District Council. Together we can show what a great community we have.

For over 30 years I have worked and continue to support children and families throughout the district, many presenting with complex and challenging needs. I have always tried my utmost to improve children and families' lives.

The cost-of-living crisis is affecting everyone, and I can pledge to you that I will support you in whatever way I can, making sure our whole ward is listened to and gets its fair share of resources.

I am looking forward to speaking to you over the coming weeks and months to hear your stories.
