My Name is Rachel, I live with my husband and two young children in Silecroft and i help to run a family business alongside my husband and i also work with my father.

I joined the council in September 2016, I have been involved in many aspects of the Parish Council including being instramental in helping with fundraising.

In total the Parish Council raised £47,000 to put two new playgrounds in for the benefit of the residents and visitors at Silecroft and Kirksanton.

I’m interested in the rural community. In particular i am secretary to the Millom and Broughton Agricultural show which is of course is our local show!
