Rosemary has lived in North Holmwood for nearly forty 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 and now leads as Cabinet member for Waste, Recycling & Environmental Health. 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. She is committed to protecting our beautiful environment and promoting the benefits of being outdoors for physical and mental health. She is currently a committee member of the Friends of Holmwood Common, organises a regular monthly Community Litter Pick, leads a Wellbeing Walk and is involved with the North Holmwood Village Events Group.

Rosemary is keen to see the Local Plan requirements for developers to deliver significantly more affordable housing implemented. She campaigns with colleagues for greater sustainability and the circular economy, and improvements to public transport and infrastructure for cycling and walking.
