Lucy Wood

Occupation: Research Coordinator at Ashburton Surgery

Council Role: Town Mayor, Chair to Ashburton Town Council

What do you enjoy most about serving the community: I am passionate about the power and magic that community holds, I believe that involvement in the community on any level is the key to a life well lived and is one of the few things in life that can really make a positive impact both personally and for those living around you.

What is one issue that you would encourage residents to get involved in: Awareness of services that Ashburton Town Council is potentially taking on under the Local Government restructure and the implications that this has for everyone living in Ashburton

A fun fact about yourself: I love knitting and pottery.  I also spend a lot of time growing fruit or out foraging for flowers and berries to make cordials, jams and jellies.
