About Me
The Causeway Coast and Glens Council is responsible for a wide range of services, including business support, environmental health, and community services like leisure centers and museums. We also handle planning applications, manage recycling and waste collection and oversee infrastructure and regeneration projects in our towns and villages.
I am one of the 15 female Councilors (out of 40). My special interests are community cohesion, fair services, value for money, the arts and multicultural diversity. I have serviced as a councilor for 12 Years. During this term, I was pleased to have the opportunity to be selected by the D’Hondt to be on the PEACEPLUS Partnership Board.
Role in PEACEPLUS
As an elected representative I have contributed to the co-design and approval of the Local Action Plan in collaboration with social partners and council officers and helped to ensure the projects were reflective of community needs and contribute to peace and reconciliation.
I monitor project implementation, ensuring accountability for public funds.
I helped to ensure the resulting projects are inclusive, cross-community, and aim to break down barriers, improve community relations, and create shared spaces for all residents.
Currently I sit on two sub-groups: Access All Areas – Championing Inclusion on our Society (BPTC9) and Altnahinch Dam (LCRT1.5) which aims to increase access and enjoyment of this important feature in our landscape.
