She is committed to partnership working and the role of Councillors as community champions. She is looking forward to her new Member Development and Support role and the opportunity to become more involved in Democratic Services.

Areas of responsibility include:

·       Supporting the Leader in day to day activity

Working with you to help build communities that we can all take pride in has always been a priority for the Council.

We value the contributions that people make within their local area, through volunteering and getting involved in decision making, to really make a difference for everyone who lives there. By building on the work we've already done together we can continue to find new ways to meet the challenges facing Rotherham.
