Lyncombe Liberal Democrats

Katie Hall

by Ben Stevens

Katie Hall was elected to represent Lyncombe Ward in 2011

Katie Hall and her husband Adam have two boys, Oscar (7) and Rufus (4), who both go to Combe Down Primary School. Katie says, 'This is a great place, with lots of character, and a good sense of community - together we can make it even better.'

Originally from Durham, Katie studied chemistry at the University of Leeds, and has lived in Brussels, London and Amsterdam. She worked on local, national and international policy issues. Katie was a speechwriter to Paddy Ashdown and has experience in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

Katie has a long-standing interest in environmental issues. She would love to see an integrated approach to traffic, public transport, congestion and parking in Bath. 'Our city's congestion causes problems for residents, businesses and visitors,' says Katie.

Katie has recently been involved in fundraising for the school PTA, helping run children's clubs at St Stephen's Church, and as a regular volunteer at her children's school. She spends a lot of her spare time in the park with her boys.
