Judith is married with two grown-up children and lives in Tostock. She qualified as a barrister, and currently works as a member of the Eastern Residential Property Tribunal. She has also worked in the banking sector, as well as for a variety of public and voluntary sector organisations, including as a Non-Executive Director of the West Suffolk Hospital, a Trustee of Macmillan Cancer Support and a school governor.

Judith says ‘I applied to become a member of the Suffolk Police Authority because I believe it is vitally important for all of us living in Suffolk to ensure that we have an efficient and effective police force, which is accountable to local people. Suffolk is a safe county to live in, and we must make sure it remains so, whilst addressing the issues which are important to the community, so that they can have confidence that they are getting the best possible policing service.’
