Angie has been very happy to call Stone home for more than 18 years and has been an active member of several voluntary groups and a Stone Town Councillor during that time.
She regards Stone as a very special place supported by both independent businesses and national chains in a thriving town centre. As an enthusiastic resident she regularly shops and socialises in the town and has recently opened a part time art gallery there.
“As an Independent Town Councillor I would continue to support and encourage new businesses and ensure it remains a place with fantastic facilities that everyone can enjoy. Stone Independents have worked hard and achieved a great deal. I look forward to joining them and continuing these improvements.”
