I’ve lived in the Lenton area for 23 years, since I was a student at the University of Nottingham. I lived in a few rented houses, but liked the area so much that my partner and I chose to buy a house on the Lenton Drives – lovely lime tree-lined streets. I cycle to work in the city centre. Our children have all gone to the great local primary school – Edna G Olds Academy. Our local church is here – Thomas Helwys Baptist Church.

I feel very passionate about the Lenton area; this is where our local community is. As Secretary to the Association, I get to write lots of letters, minute meetings and look after our social media sites. Being part of the Association has been great as I have met even more people who live in our area, who make our community a great place.
