I have lived in the area since 1972 and been on the Town Council since 2008-i have been Mayor three times. I was also a Barrow Borough Councillor for Dalton North for 8 years. Since retiring from teaching have had time to give back to the community through volunteering. For me this has included volunteering with Barrow Foodbank, Age Uk Barrow and the National Trust at Sandscale Haws .
