Catharine and her family have lived in Haymill for 22 years. Catharine is an education researcher and has held various posts in the civil service and a research organisation, in addition to a voluntary role as a Governor in two local schools. Catharine has a passionate belief in the importance of educational opportunity for all children, and is angry that the financial failings of Slough's Labour-run Council will add to the existing pressures on schools budget from the Tory Government. She welcomes the Lib Dems' commitment to a much larger COVID recovery fund for schools than that proposed by the Tory Government. Catharine also strongly supports action to protect the environment and improve air quality by well implemented cycling and walking paths. As a councillor she would push Slough Council to measure the current air quality more thoroughly across the town, and properly consult on ways to bring improvements.
