Councillor Ward Meets Our Politics Students
Posted on: 04/06/2024On Tuesday 22nd May, Politics students at Harris Rainham Sixth Form received a visit from Mrs Lee Ward, a member of Thurrock Council.
Mrs Ward (fourth from left) is the councillor for the West Thurrock and South Stifford ward and represents the Labour Party. She is also the Council Cabinet Member for Good Growth, focusing on housing development, economic development, and transport development.
During her visit, Mrs Ward had a tour of the new sixth form building and participated in Q&A session to our Year 12 politics students. Students asked very insightful and probing questions on a variety of topics, including housing, policy making and party manifesto promises.
Mrs Ward shared her career in politics, including her time working as part of the Foreign Office, and her current work representing local residents in her ward. Students and staff thoroughly enjoyed Mrs Ward's visit and found it insightful to see how local government operates.
