Adrienne Lowe has been a Lancing resident for 40 years. She has served on Lancing Parish Council and was its vice-chair for four years.

Adrienne is chair of a local charity, Adur Voluntary Action, which helps people in Adur to access services, resources and opportunities that improve their quality of life. She has been active in West Beach Residents’ Association and currently runs a
co-operative children’s group.

She is a retired deputy headteacher and was head of science in a local secondary school. She also spent 30 years as an elected member of the Co-operative Group. She is passionate about environmental issues and in her spare time she enjoys her allotment, walking and reading.

Pauline Higgins says: “I will work tirelessly as your local Labour councillor to begin to address some of the many issues and concerns you have raised. Many of these issues are a direct result of neglect and lack of consideration and too many of you have felt not listened to or simply ignored. Having been a deputy head teacher specialising in the Early Years I know how vital good listening and action are for the lives and outcomes of children, families and the community.

“Now, as  a primary school governor, I see  what a difference air quality and safe streets make to the lives of children, their families and older adults. I want your voices to be heard with kindness, consideration and respect and then represented in a Labour council. Together we can begin to change neglect into action for Widewater.”
