Cllr Sarah Barker

Sarah Barker is a current Labour councillor, elected in 2013 and serving until 2029. As the owner of a popular pub, her political focus is on town centre revitalization and local business support. She is a firm believer that a vibrant and welcoming high street is the heart of a community. Barker's experience as a business owner gives her a practical understanding of the challenges facing Ambridge's declining town centre. She has been a prominent voice in the push for urban renewal and has worked to champion policies that support local trade and tourism. Her work is particularly relevant as the council grapples with these persistent challenges and prepares for the economic implications of the unitary authority merger. She holds her councillor surgeries at The Tea Room on the Green, a location that underscores her commitment to the local business community.
