I hadn’t thought of being a Councillor until I was invited by the Chairman of our Party,I have always voted and been interested in politics but I couldn’t play any part when my husband was in the Army

No, but I was interested in politics from my early teenage years. When I joined my political party, it was a natural progression to make. I was elected to my parish council at the first attempt and four years later I was elected to the district council.

No Phebe I didnt. I hadnt heard about Councillors or MP’s for that matter till quite late on in life. I heard of a local issue that people were unhappy about and decided to do something about it, got elected and the rest is history as they. Oh! the issue that got me started was a planning matter all about building houses on open countryside and yes I was succesful in stopping it.
