The newest member of Burntwood Town Council says she is looking forward to working with the community.

Norma Bacon was co-opted as the Hunslet ward representative at a meeting this week.

The new town councillor said she was looking forward to supporting local residents once more.

> “I just like working with the community.  
>  
> “It’s important the community knows councillors want to look after them and support them and help them.  
>  
> “Community has always been important to me. They always need help in some way or another and I’ve got it to give – and I shall carry on giving it as long as I can.”  
>  
> Cllr Norma Bacon

She said one of her priorities was helping to tackle problems with vandalism and burnt out cars.

> “There’s lots of vandalism and all sorts going on at the moment and I think we’ve really got to do something about that.  
>  
> “It’s getting out of hand – burnt out cars, three in a week. It’s not on.”  
>  
> Cllr Norma Bacon, Burntwood Town Council

Cllr Bacon believes her previous experience with Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) also means she is well-placed to help others.

> “I was on the CAB for ten years and that’s given me a knowledge of sending people to the right place to get information.  
>  
> “I’m not qualified to do all these things – but I can advise them to go to the right places, and that’s what I want to do.”
