Hi, I’m Liz!
I am starting my second elected term as an Eaglestone Councillor. I am the Vice Chair of the Operations and Resources Committee and a member of the Services and Community Committee. I have supported the Eaglestone Youth groups and our environmental team in respect of planting and resources.
The reason I stood again was twofold. I wanted to see through getting Harrier Court work completed or just started, and not forgotten as it has in the past. This could mean residents living with scaffolding and a dark environment for a few more years to come.
Secondly, I do feel passionate about Eaglestone as I was a long-term resident. I wanted residents of Eaglestone to make the choice of whether they wanted me or not and as you said if I had not been re-elected, Eaglestone would only have one councillor.
I am committed to:
•Improving our local environment by tackling the issue of litter, dog fouling and fly tipping
•Developing local facilities by focusing on our play areas and green spaces
•Supporting residents with local issues or concerns, including drug use and anti-social behaviour
•Resolving parking issues in Eaglestone, specifically the issue of non-residential parking.
Although I no longer live on Eaglestone, I will continue to work towards improving the environment and services for all residents on Eaglestone and in the Woughton area until the end of my term as councillor. I am not a politician, just a person who wanted to get Eaglestone residents voices heard.
I’d lived on Eaglestone for 42 years, and I was proud to call Eaglestone my home. For 18 years I worked in in Children Services, at Milton Keynes Council and have been retired for several years. I spent the two years before becoming a councillor campaigning to improve the non-residential parking on Eaglestone, and supporting residents on key local topics as part of the Eaglestone Residents Association. I enjoy gardening and have one allotments near where I live where I grow fruit and vegetables.
