Hi, I am Councillor Kath Fernandes. A few things about myself: I have three children, – 2 boys aged 33 and 32, and a girl 25. I moved from Huddersfield when I was 21, and lived in Chester. After 13 years, I came back to Huddersfield and had my daughter. I have now been living in Huddersfield for 25 years.
I went to college and passed my Health and Social Care level 2 with a distinction. I then did Level 3 and got a Merit and passed GCSE English with a C. I wanted to be a children’s nurse and I was learning sign language but, unfortunately, had an accident and broke my ankle, so I couldn’t do that anymore. Then in the last year I joined the Conservative Club, and I go to every meeting.
I was put forward to be a Councillor in the Parish Council in the Holme Valley. I want to make a difference for the people and give them whatever help I can. That will bring me joy. I want to thank the people that voted for me. I hope I’ll get to meet a lot of new people as a Councillor.
