postal voters

If you are a postal voter and would like your voice to count in our local elections there is still time to post your forms. If you are worried that your voted wont get to the council be Thursday 2nd (polling day) it is perfectly fine for you to take your completed postal vote form to a polling station.

Ever vote is important so please take two minutes to cast your vote.

serve and protect

One of my roles as a Cornwall Councillor is to safeguard children and vulnerable adults. The police and social services do there best to protect people, but I also keep my eyes open to ensuring local peoples safety were possible. 


Keeping crime low is very important to me and I also sit on Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Panel to ensure our area get its fair share of police resources.


The police and social services should be contacted if you have any concerns but If you need my help just let me know.

Heather is so kind


I have to blush sometimes in election campaigns. This is one such occasion. Here are the kind words Heather Jordan had to say about me:

“We are supporting Paula because we know how hard she works for this area. We want a councillor who we hear from all year around, not just at elections and that’s Paula.” - Heather Jordan

Hard days campaigning

After a hard day of delivering leaflets and knocking on doors its always nice to pop into your local, have a drink and wind down.

On a serious note, we must support local business and friendly pubs are often at the heart of a community.

Local Jobs


In our rural community, which is so far away from any big cities, local employment is key.
I have always supported local business and will continue to call for more quality jobs in our community.

I've been a local business owner and know how hard it can be. The council needs to do more to support companies who want to expand and take on more people.
We must keep our rural economy working!

Keeping up the fight


I love fighting for our area and will not allow the bureaucrats in Truro to forget about our issues. We are far away, but that is why I have to shout the loudest!
Local people tell me that they want good services from the council, they don’t want their council tax to rocket every year and they want to be listened to.  I agree and that is why I will continue to fight for a fair deal.

Election pledges



I'm getting a really good feeling while out and about meeting people during this election.
I want to make 3 key pledges I make to the people of Stratton and Grenville ward:
  • I will always put people above politics when representing you.
  • I will continue to work hard all year around and get results.
  • I will keep listening to your views and fighting for our area.
I want to carry on fighting for a fair deal for our area... Thanks for your support!

Cornwall can’t afford to go on like this!

The Conservatives at Cornwall Council have left a shameful legacy.
They have threatened our services, but spend £1 million a month on consultants! 
They even hired taxis to ferry tea and coffee around council offices! Instead of cutting waste they have cut front line services.

Since running the council they have...
  • Tried to close Bude Sea Pool
  • Threatened our libraries 
  • Let play areas fall into ruin
  • Closed public toilets
  • Failed to collect our rubbish
  • Neglected our roads
We can't go on like this!

Thanks Clive

I'd like to thank Clive Vanstone for his kind words about me. It's nice to know that I'm making a difference.


 “Paula really listens to the views of local people. What I like most is that she is a really independent person who puts people above politics" - Clive Vanstone

My independent mind


I am often told how independent minded I am. Well this definitely comes from my father who studied at Oxford & is now a scientist. He works in botany improving crops without genetic modification. He taught me to challenge everything and take nothing for granted. I hope this mindset has made me the person I am today

Two horse race


Often elections are neck and neck between two candidates who are so far ahead of everyone else that voting for anyone in the pack behind would be a waste.
Well in my election on may the 2nd it literally is a two horse race. Voters in the Grenville and Stratton ward have a choice between a Conservative or myself.
Please do NOT let someone else choose for you. Go and Vote!

Stratton royalty

Barry Bryne has been a pillar in the community of Stratton for longer than I can remember so its a great honor to have his support in this election.


“Paula is an effective local champion.  She has years of experience as a councillor and knows how to get results for her electors.She knows her community well and I trust her judgement when it comes to the big issues we face." - Barry Bryne
