Lancashire County Council Candidate for Poulton-le-Fylde
Born and raised in Edgware Middlesex, Barbara gained a degree in History from Edge Hill University and then worked for many years in the retail and IT sectors before moving to Carleton in 2003 and changing direction to focus on mainly voluntary roles, working in the charity sector for over 13 years, including Guide Dog puppy raising & speaking and in retail with Oxfam. She currently runs her own dog walking/sitting service and is a busy and devoted mum and wife. She also supports Poulton RAF Air Cadets, as a civilian committee member.
Barbara says:
“My support of the Green Party began many years ago, as I looked into policies that would shape a fairer, sustainable and more caring world, becoming disillusioned with the traditional 3 party political system we have had in the UK.
“I am standing as a Green Party candidate for the local election, as I strongly believe that new policies and ideas are needed, that focus on key areas such as sustainability, environmental protection, education, public transport, social planning and infrastructure.
I am passionate about ‘putting back’ in to the community through volunteering and would work hard as a local councillor to make a difference to our local area and everyone in it.”
