Dear Resident, It has been a great privilege to serve as your County Councillor for the past four years, in the Division of Braunton Rural, covering the Parishes of Braunton, Ashford, Heanton and Georgeham and I will be standing again in the upcoming local elections in May.

Full statement

I live in Croyde and grew up and went to school in Braunton. I trained as a nurse at North Devon District Hospital until my four children came along. My husband Tim is a local builder.

I am proud to have represented you at County Hall these past four years. I sit on Adult Health Scrutiny, Children’s Scrutiny, Fostering and Governance amongst other things. This past year I have been the Vice Chair of the council and have performed civic engagements, including opening the fantastic new English department at Braunton Academy (my old school), funded by a £4m capital investment from Devon County Council.

I pledge to continue to fight for funding for this area to make our roads safer. I helped to bid for £5million of government Safer Roads funding for the A361, between Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. Part of that bid will see new pedestrian crossings built for Ashford, Wrafton and Knowle.

I will continue to support local groups and organisations with locality funding. This year I have been able to give funding to Saunton Surf Lifesaving Club, Knowle Community Group, Southmead School, Access for All and Braunton Youth Club amongst others. It really is one of the best parts of the role. Finally I pledge to continue to be available and approachable every day. I will be there for you.
If you have any queries do please contact me (maskellpru@gmail.com). I very much hope that you will give me your support for the election on May 1st.

With thanks and Best Wishes
Pru Maskell
The Conservative Party Candidate for Braunton Rural
