Jen Overett

Jen is our local election candidate for Castle Hill ward:

"I was brought up in Suffolk, returning to live in Ipswich in 1987 and have mostly lived in the town since that time. I joined the Green Party around 8 years ago, attracted by its policies such as on social justice, quality of life, healthy food, and animal welfare, and because I see it as a party that gets things done for the local community and can really make a difference. I enjoy cycling, running and organic gardening. I have one daughter currently away at University. I have worked in social care for over 30 years and am a Suffolk County Council employee."
