Susan’s background is in local government, as a youth worker and social worker and as a district and parish councillor. Her particular interests are member development, scrutiny, community involvement and training on the role of a frontline councillor.

Susan was a councillor on Blyth Valley Borough Council for 12 years. In that time she chaired the overview and scrutiny management board, the arts and leisure trust and the community assembly and was vice-chair of the housing services committee and the economic and community services committee.

She has been an IDeA regional lead peer and worked on CPA inspections for the Audit Commission. Her work with the IDeA included member development, reviews, top team development and mentoring of individuals and political groups. Susan is an Associate with the Centre for Public Scrutiny.

Susan is keen to recruit more women into local government and to challenge the ways in which councils work, in order to ensure that there is more diversity within groups.
