I live in Wisbech. My home is in North Brink. I chose to make my life here after falling in love with the Fens and its amazing history and heritage. I have found everyone very welcoming and I want to get stuck into doing my bit to make our area the best it can be.
Normally, in an election, your choice is between change or experience. But in this instance, I hope I can offer both - change from what you've had before and the experience of what I've done before.
I served as a Member of Parliament for fourteen years including as a Minister in Government. I have a reputation as a straight talking and determined campaigner. Amongst my many campaigns, I spoke up for victims of sexual violence; I led the efforts to honour our obligations to Gurkha veterans and I fought to defend women’s rights to single sex spaces. I am proud to have been made a Dame in recognition of my public service.
I can bring my skills to work for you and make sure that the needs of the communities in Roman Bank & Peckover are heard at County. The Liberal Democrat county council are only concerned about what happens in Cambridge. Here in Fenland we are overlooked and ignored. The state of our roads is but one example of that. This has to change. This is our opportunity to make that change.
I promise that if elected that will change. As a local resident I will be accessible to everyone across Roman Bank & Peckover. I promise to use my voice to fight for you.
Conservative run Fenland District council has reduced council tax again this year. As Conservatives we are determined to make sure you pay less – this is your money. As Conservatives we will always strive to deliver value for money as well as good public services.
