Hello
Thank you to Mark for creating the space for us to introduce ourselves! I am Becky Senior and I am the LibDem candidate for Marple North in 2019. I live in Marple Bridge with my husband and two sons. We moved here about five years ago and I was immediately struck by how active the community is in Marple, Mellor, Marple Bridge, Compstall and Mill Brow. I am involved with local community groups currently part of the Friends of Mill Brow group and also the Mellor, Marple Bridge, Mill Brow and Compstall Area Plan looking at ensuring we have a voice in the decisions taken for our area in planning, infrastructure and green spaces for the decades to come. I came to local politics through working with these groups and through working with the local Lib Dem team - Malcolm Allan and Steve Gribbon - who work tirelessly all year round on the issues that matter to local residents and I wanted to be part of it.
I am pragmatic and focused on getting things done for the community we live in - whether that is working with Malcolm on the new plans for Marple Pool; working with Steve on trying to get better transport links and improve the current conditions for pedestrians road users and cyclists or looking at ways of improving access to, and use of the resources available to the wider community.
Please let me or the local team know if there are any issues or concerns that we can help you with - you can find us on Facebook - Keeping in Touch with Marple and High Lane, or by calling the Lib Dem local office 0161 406 7070. You can also post on this forum or contact me by email rebeccasenior18@gmail.com.
