Samantha Hoy is an energetic and positive young woman who tries to use her skills and enthusiasm as a County Councillor for the town she loves. She believes that only by listening to people and being out and about in the community can a Councillor properly represent people’s views.

Samantha says: “ this area is more than just a place to live – it is shaped by the people who call it home. I do my best to work with other local people to deliver a better, brighter and more positive future for Wisbech North.”

Sam’s hard-hitting scrutiny report on Domestic Violence received national recognition and has influenced policy at county level and beyond.  She was invited to meet Theresa May MP, the Home Secretary in 2012 and the work she and her scrutiny team had done was commended at the highest level.
