I am born and bred in Northampton and have lived in East Hunsbury since the house was built in 1989. I have been a Parish Councillor since 2017 and served for 4 years as Chairman.

I worked for Northamptonshire County Council for 21 years and was a Senior Budget Manager responsible for 3 departments and a 5 million pound budget, giving me an insight into public sector finance. The public service ethos has been instilled in me for a very long time!

I am very keen to promote and enhance our lovely open spaces in East Hunsbury and to do everything possible to avoid any future flooding issues. I am working with a number of bodies to find solutions to support our residents in this regard.

On a personal note my particular passion is open water swimming and I enjoy a good long walk with my husband.

Claire is Vice-Chairman of the Parish Council, and a member of the Resources Committee, the Community Engagemet Committee, and the Parks & Open Spaces Committee.
