Contact Mary Hall for Crook Ward

Hi, my name is Mary Hall, I’m married with a grown-up family and have lived in Crook for over 20 years, and witnessed a number of changes, not all of them for the better. For most of my career, I worked in the health service, local authorities and with voluntary groups.

In a later role I was responsible for community engagement, providing a voice for service users to influence how services were designed and delivered. This did not stop the horrendous cuts during austerity, but it did lessen the damage as much as possible.

I have seen at first hand the damage done to public services and the struggles people face. I have listened to those using mental health and social care services describe how cuts were likely to affect them and their families. I haven’t got a magic wand but do have a belief that our community deserves better and that things can change for the better if we work together with other organisations including community groups, health, police, and the local authority.

The key issue of anti-social behaviour for example, needs organisations such as the police, local authorities, schools, and voluntary groups to work together with the community to formulate a plan of action. This may include improving reporting methods, outreach work with young people, and improved CCTV coverage.

Families who care for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or adults with dementia need support. Diagnosis is taking too long and families need support whilst they wait, which could be provided through local support networks working with others in the community and public sector partners to improve help that is available.
