KATE O'KELLY
​MIDHURST COUNTY COUNCILLOR

Picture
Kate says “It is a real honour to represent Midhurst on West Sussex County Council.  I have lived and worked in the area for over 20 years. I was a GP in Chichester for 10 years whilst also working at Brighton and Sussex Medical School. Since 2011 I have worked with patients with Dementia as an old age psychiatrist. More recently I have become a West Sussex magistrate.

I am married to Tim who runs an independent bookshop in Petersfield and we have 4 children.
​I joined the Liberal Democrats after the General Election in 2015 as I thought it was time for people with moderate views to stand up and be counted. After the volatile political landscape of 2016 I feel the same way now, at the start of 2017. Liberal Democrats stand for an open and tolerant Britain and believe we need a strong economy to create a fairer society. We are particularly concerned about priorities such as the environment, social care and mental health services.”

Local issues

SCHOOLS FUNDING
​All our local schools are facing a huge funding reduction.  Locally this is much higher than the national or county average.  I will be working hard to help our local schools regain the funding they have lost.  It is vital to secure our children's futures.
SOCIAL CARE CRISIS
On a daily basis I talk to patients and families who are having significant challenges accessing social care.  whether this is for care packages on discharge or to support the frail and elderly in their homes. Having a social worker allocated in a near crisis situation is getting harder.
TIP TAX
The recently introduced 'Tip Tax' threatens our countryside.  Reducing the opening days and hours heightens the risk.  We don't want to see an increase in fly-tipping that this policy is bound to encourage.  I want the tips to return to full opening hours.
