Councillor Claire Shea - Mayor of Sevenoaks 

I am very honoured to have been elected as Mayor by my fellow town councillors.

I look forward to working with local businesses, charities, schools and clubs across the town. I have chosen two charities to support this year – Sevenoaks Welcomes Refugees and Sevenoaks Larder. Both are brilliant examples of citizens coming together to meet the needs of the community.

 

 

About Claire: 

She has lived near Bradbourne Lakes since 2009 with her husband and three school-aged children. Her career began in retail, working for the John Lewis Partnership, moving later into the design and project management of major housing, hospitals and regeneration projects for a major contractor. The experience has given her good experience of designing solutions and getting things done.

Cllr Shea believes in collaborative and inclusive politics. She wants safe streets around our schools, cleaner air for all our citizens, improvements to our parks and green spaces, and the best sustainable design for the homes we need.

we have had a somewhat eventful time on a national level, including a General Election and the passage of the Brexit Bill. I am proud to say that, whatever the individual views of councillors on these great issues of state, your Town Council has remained relentlessly focused on serving our local residents on local issues as well as we possibly can.
