Susan is Cabinet Member for Environment at Kent County Council and she’s leading the work to make KCC’s services and building carbon neutral by 2030. She’s also been working on reducing the amount of Kent’s waste that goes to landfill (now less than 1%!) and on delivering a commitment for 1.5 million trees to be planted in Kent.

She’s a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and has an MBA with distinction from Ashridge Management College.

Susan is also the honorary president of the National Coastwatch Institute in Folkestone, a friend of the Folkestone Choral Society and a friend of St Nicholas Church in Newington.
