If elected, what will be your top two priorities and how would you address them?
I love our library and want to strengthen the services it provides our community. My priority is to expand the Makers Space to help people learn new skills, explore their creativity and bring their ideas to life. Secondly, I'm committed to supporting staff, expanding opportunities for all ages, and ensuring our library continues to grow as a welcoming hub for learning and innovation.
The community garden is an important resource for those who don't own land, I want to see it continue for all.
