I moved to Martham from Beccles in the early 1980s. I have two grown-up children who both went to school in Martham and I have three grandchildren. I am semi-retired, I work part-time for the National Trust and also as a volunteer. My main hobbies are cycling and running. I enjoy talking to people and continuing to learn.

All councillors have to make a declaration of personal interests which can be found on the Great Yarmouth Borough Council website once updated here. A copy of these records are also kept by the Parish Council.

“I’ve lived in Martham since 2007 and work for a charity. I’ve spent many years volunteering as a digital champion supporting people to get online. Since becoming a Parish Councillor in 2013, I’ve been a member of the Parish Council’s Communications sub-committee.  This group works to improve how easy it is to contact the council, keep up to date on Council news, have your say and take action.”

I have lived in the village since 1969. All three of my children went through Martham schools, and I sat on the governors at the 1st school when they were each there. I have joined the council after finally deciding to try and help from a position of knowledge and influence – rather than moan from behind a keyboard!
