Linda Petherick is standing for election as an independent to represent the Dawlish North East ward at Teignbridge District Council and Dawlish Town Council. She is currently a councillor at district and town level.

----------

My name is Linda Petherick, I have lived in Dawlish for over 20 years. I have been a town councillor for 12 years and a Teignbridge councillor for four years. 

I have achieved a lot for the residents of Dawlish over the last 12 years, which includes leading on the delivery of a gold play park and children's trail for young children and young adults with disabilities and wheelchair users.  

I want to continue to work for the people of the parish of Dawlish to make sure that Dawlish is able to have a brighter future and that our town is brought to the forefront at Teignbridge in order to ensure that our parish is represented proactively.

Being independent, I do not have the shackles of party politics holding me back and I can therefore achieve a lot more.
