Statement to voters

A former Headteacher and Magistrate, Valerie has lived in Gorrell ward for over two decades where she is known locally and is active in community groups.

Full statement



Valerie has a passion for the environment and has been at the front and centre of campaigns for clean beaches, to save green spaces along the Thanet Way, and to improve public awareness of the need to go Plastic Free.

She served as a Councillor for Gorrell up until 2022, during which time she helped fight to protect the local beach from overdevelopment.

Her plan for Gorrell is to:

1. Fix our local roads.

Labour has pledged £54m to fix Kent roads. The Tories at Kent County Council just close them creating chaos for local residents

2. Fight for a cleaner, greener Whitstable.

Whitstable Labour Councillors are holding Southern Water to account and beginning to see much needed investment. A Labour Government has passed new laws allowing polluting bosses to be jailed for pumping sewage into our sea.

3. Support our High Street.

Seeing the council support 'shop local' initiatives which secure good local jobs and help our independent high street to thrive.
