County Councillor George Koowaree for Ashford East
(Ashford East covers the following wards:)
I've been nursing since coming to this country in 1957 from my birthplace in Mauritius. But it was retiring a few years ago that allowed me to commit myself to work for my community and I've been a County Councillor for Ashford South-East since 2004.
I've been Borough Councillor for North Willesborough since 1987 and in that time I've become a trustee of many of my home town's best known charities including the Almshouse Charity, Ashford Parochial Charities and I sit on Ashford Youth Advisory Board. But it is being part of the Ashford Old People Welfare Committee and attending the Learning Disability Partnership Group that I most enjoy as it informs my work as Lib Dem Spokesperson for Adult Social Services.
