For the last 21 years, Maureen Child has represented
Portobello – and Craigmillar – on the City of Edinburgh Council. It’s been a
challenging experience, especially now when increasing pressures are being
placed on local authorities thanks to reduced budgets and reforms to what they
can do.
It’s been a hallmark of her time that Maureen’s been content to steer
from behind, letting local people, local communities take credit for changes
that have happened in their areas. Her philosophy can be summed up by the
question – what matter to YOU? She just confirmed that she’s going to stand for
the Council again in 2017 at an age (forgive me Maureen) when many people would
be content to sit back a little. In this episode of the Porty Podcast, she explains why. To listen, just click on the link below
