Lib Dem Candidate Lisa Barrett explains how the need for a pedestrian crossing on her son's school run has led to her becoming a candidate for the County Council elections on Thursday 2nd May. "I'm not a politician - I'm a mum. But, in my opinion, politics, and local government specifically, needs more people like me - not career politicians but people who care about their local community and want to make a difference.

Residents may have heard about the situation around the £165,000 allocated to the Hutton Community Centre and associated controversy.

We believe that in the interests of openness and transparency you should know some important facts before then and make up your own minds on what is happening.
