Cllr Sandy Bentley - Macclesfield West

Sandy enjoys reading (although since becoming a Councillor this seems to have tended more towards council papers rather than library books!) and also enjoys French jive dancing and Pilates. She tries to go for long walks whenever time and weather permits.

Gardening also takes up quite a few hours of her time.

Sandy has always had an empathy for old people since working for Sir Patrick Cormack during the time he was a parliamentary candidate and later MP for Cannock in Staffordshire. She notes "We had many elderley people visit his office and surgeries, and I gained an insight into their particular problems and difficulties."

Her current passion is to try and get public transport available to enable people without their own cars to be able to get to the local hospital and also the medical centres. This seems to have been a major problem for far too long.

Sandy has recently been appointed to the Health & Adult Scrutiny Committee and will be speaking up loud and clear to appeal for the transport matter to be addressed.

Sandy is also Chairman of the Appeals Committee, a member of the Charter Trustees for Macclesfield, Chairman of the local Ivy Branch and a School Governor.
