In 1969 she moved to Tonbridge and in 1976 settled in Trench Ward, where she still lives.
Pam married Keith in 1977 and between them they have fi ve children, four girls and one boy, all now adults with their own partners and families. They have seven grandchildren. Pam said: “I
thoroughly enjoyed my year as Deputy Mayor serving the community of Tonbridge & Malling and I’m really looking
forward to continuing this work in my role
as Mayor this year. It will be an
honour to help raise awareness of all the fantastic work carried out by volunteers, community groups, schools and businesses and to meet more residents during my travels around the borough.”
