Denise Bates our next Town Councillor

"I retired last summer. I now have the time to dedicate myself to working for residents.

My husband Graham and I have two grown up children and two grand children. We love spending time with them.

Previously I spent 23 years as a Trowbridge Primary School Manager. As a parent and grandparent, and having worked in education, I care passionately about families and children. All our children have the right to a first class education and to grow up in a safe and happy environment.

I would be honoured to serve the Drynham community on our Town Council. I will do my best to help local residents and address your concerns to the best of my ability," said Denise.

We will elect both a new Wiltshire Councillor and Trowbridge Town Councillor when we vote on Thursday 4th July.
