| Caroline Cahill | Member of the Public | I have lived locally for nearly 30 years with my husband and 2 sons. I graduated with a degree in Business Studies and spent my career working as a Business Analyst working for public and private sector companies on the South coast. For a number of years, I have had a keen interest in local planning and would like to try and ensure Denmead retains it’s village identity and community values through it’s neighbourhood plan. While embracing inevitable growth we need to ensure the right homes are built in the right areas reflecting community views and needs so that future generations have the opportunity to remain a part of Denmead. |
