Sarah moved to Market Drayton in 1997 with her husband who is currently working at Oswestry School. She has two daughters, Louisa and Polly who both attend schools in the area. As a shopper, Sarah purchases locally produced food. She is attracted to the idea of raising the profile of the links between businesses in the town and surrounding area and is very positive about the impact this will have on the community. She is appreciative of the investment that the food manufacturers have made in the area. As a French speaker, Sarah is interested in the twinning of Market Drayton and Pezenas and hopes to visit the town sometime in the near future.

Three local authorities fund the Community Information Point: the town, district and county councils. The service is a one-stop shop for information about their activities and provides a presence in the town where people of all ages and walks of life, can bring their queries about Council services and take their concerns. There is a particular need for for better public transport , which is improving as we write.
