I was educated at Hunderton School and then Redhill School. I began work as an engineering apprentice at Special Metals Wiggin and worked for several local companies in management roles. I believe in being free from the control of any political party, pressure group or whip to serve the community needs. I am committed to values built and based on local people, setting local priorities, and answering to the local community. My focus will be on improving local services in all areas of concern to the community and to promote social harmony, equality, diversity and sound environmental stewardship. GLENDA ANN POWELL
