SAMANTHA WALKER (Liberal Democrat): I have lived all my life in Kidderminster and I am delighted to have been chosen to fight in the Oldington and Foley Park ward. I am Chairman of the Wyre Forest Liberal Democrats and also Chair of Governors at a local Primary School after being a parent governor for the last 6 years. I take the education and future of our young children very seriously. I have also been involved with the scouts for 6 years which I find very rewarding. I have two children both of whom attend local schools. I have worked for social services for 16 years within the community by helping the elderly live a full and independent life in their own homes. I know the concerns of the local residents and will campaign on issues about reducing crime, anti-social behaviour and better road repairs. I have regular contact with the Oldington and Foley Park Urban Safety Committee.
