I am extremely honoured to be this year's Deputy Mayor to support Fylde Mayor Cllr Frank Andrews and to accept and fulfil the responsibilities that this trusted position merits.
Born and raised in Liverpool - I moved to Fylde over 30 years ago with my husband and it has become, along with our daughter, a much-loved adopted home!
For the past 17 years I have represented the interests of Fairhaven now the new Carnegie Ward at Fylde Council.
For the Borough of Fylde, I have held positions of Portfolio Holder for Health & Wellbeing and Chair of Tourism and Leisure Committee.
I also represent Carnegie Ward on St Anne’s on the Sea Town Council and have held both Deputy and St Annes on the Sea Town Council Mayoral positions, and I am currently the Chairman of St Annes on the Sea Town Council's CAN committee.
In addition, I am also a Governor in two schools in Fylde, Mayfield School and I hold the position of Chair of Governors at Weeton Primary School.
I am a member of Lytham St Annes Tangent a charitable organisation following on from Ladies Circle.
I am also a Poppy Appeal Organiser for the Royal British Legion which last year raised £23,000 through sales of poppies throughout St Annes.
I intend that Frank and I will enjoy this year, whilst fulfilling the civic duties which will come our way and raising money for Mayoral charities – so if you see Frank and I out and about in the Borough ... please do come over and say hello !!!
