Rosemary has lived in North Holmwood for over thirty years; her children were educated locally and she served two terms as a Governor at St John's School. Professionally, Rosemary worked extensively in Secondary Mathematics Education. She is a strong believer in the importance of high quality Early Years provision to improve outcomes for disadvantaged children and in widening access to play and sports facilities for young people.

Rosemary was elected to represent Holmwoods Ward in 2021. She is keen to maintain local services and to support voluntary groups, especially those working with the young, the vulnerable and the elderly. As a Ward Councillor, she has done her best to support residents and follow up on their concerns. Last year she was elected as Vice Chair of the Development Management Committee at MVDC. She is committed to protecting our beautiful environment and promoting the benefits of being outdoors for physical and mental health. She is currently Treasurer of the Friends of Holmwood Common, organises a regular monthly Community Litter Pick and leads a Wellbeing Walk.

On housing, Rosemary is keen to see the requirements for developers to deliver significantly more affordable housing, greater energy efficiency and improved biodiversity if the Draft Local Plan is approved. With colleagues, she has campaigned for improvements to road safety, public transport and infrastructure for cycling and walking.
