Parks - Catherine Smith Cath

Catherine Smith, like many people first became interested in politics after taking part in the Iraq war protests. Later she became involved with the Liberal Democrats after attending political speeches through college and finding they were the only party willing to really engage with the electorate, offering real answers to their questions and, more importantly, real change.

Catherine has lived in Swindon her whole life. She has been engaged in the community since a young age, taking part in sixth sense and rock school youth projects and encouraging political activism at college. While at school she took an active interest in the Commonweal school Gambia link eventually visiting the country to work with local communities. Catherine now works full time encouraging political engagement in the wider community.

Catherine is especially worried about anti-social behaviour in the area. She feels problems by the minority mean the majority do not feel safe, especially older people. Catherine also supports the Swindon Liberal Democrats stance of opposing rent hikes and protecting services for vulnerable children and adults.

Catherine is also committed to stopping development on Coate. She lives nearby and knows Coate Water is an important facility for Parks residents. Unwelcome development should not encroach on it.
