Heather

Aged 50 with husband Bob and daughter Harriet, 22 have lived in Bretby for the last 21 years.

Heather was elected onto South Derbyshire District Council 15 years ago and is currently Leader of the Conservatives. She has fought two General Elections in Coventry, with swings both times to the Conservatives.

Heather was brought up in Wandsworth and elected Councillor there at the age of 22. After serving a full council term she then married Bob and moved to the local area in 1986.

After working in the City of London for 10 years, Heather qualified as an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute.

Heather believes that the breakdown of family life has led to many of today's problems in society.

She also believes people should take personal responsibility for their own actions, Government should only be responsible for the major issues, not interfere in people's personal lives, and that rights come with responsibilities.

Over the last thirteen years Labour has let down our towns and villages. Only a strong voice for South Derbyshire will restore our services and protect us.
