I am married to Duncan Short and our three children attended St Katharine’s Primary School (local catchment primary) in the Savernake, and then St John’s Academy and Dauntsey’s School. I was a School Governor at St Katharine’s Primary for three years, during which I was deputy chair and led the HR committee responsible for recruiting the teaching staff.
Through supporting our children’s sport, I rekindled a passion for athletics and trained as an England Athletics qualified coach specialising in throws. This involved coaching and officiating for the Marlborough & District Junior Athletics Club during the summer months for more than 10 years.
On the Froxfield PC, I act as chairwoman and regularly attend the Pewsey Area Board’s Local Highways and Footpaths Improvement Group (LHFIG) meetings representing Froxfield PC’s demands for further measures to control traffic speeding on the A4 passing through the village.
