Section 3: Community Involvement
I live, shop and socialise in Stourport town and this enables me to engage and support my community when out and about. I have a vested interest in our youth and those who are disadvantaged by poor health, or choices some make, that leave them vulnerable, such as addiction. Unfortunately, we no longer have PACT Meetings, however, I am in regular contact with Stourport police who are very proactive in supporting residents and the wider community. I have supported the local Pantomine which is put on by the Monday Night Group to raise funds for local charities. I have also attended meetings with Stourport Carnival Committee.
Section 4: Assisting Constituents
This year, I have experienced a change in the support that my constituents have needed. The Cost of Living Crisis, particularly the rise in energy costs has impacted on all. I have supported residents to better understand how they were allocated their portion of the financial help that came from central government, particularly those who reside on caravan parks.
I have also support those seeking housing and those who have experienced issues within the homes they reside in. These issues have ranged from overcrowding to damp and mould.
Section 5: Supplementary Information
My role as a cabinet member has been very rewarding. It has given me the opportunity to explore and develop how we can better the health and wellbeing of our constituents, and improve their housing opportunities.
