Jill has 16 years' previous experience as a District and Parish Councillor. She was the District Council's Lib Dem spokesperson on Planning Policy for many years, and on the Parish Council she took particular responsibility for finance. Since moving to East Knoyle in 2016 she has become fully involved in the local community, including as Secretary to both the Village Hall Committee and the PCC of the village church.
