Labour Party Treasurer
Sylvia Moss was born and raised in New Haven Terrace, Grimsby and has lived and worked in the North East Lincs area all her life. She is married with one son and a grandson, and with the support of family and friends, has contributed to the community in her working life. She has been Manager of Victim Support since 1989.

Brought up to be politically aware, she has always believed in fighting injustice in society; this led me to membership of the Labour Party. As Treasurer of the Constituency Party she attends meetings and supports colleagues wherever and whenever she can. She is a great believer in working with people for maximum efficiency and for her this means partnership working; something she has done all her working life, and for many years supporting victims of crime.

Freshney with its abundance of green areas is a great place to live, but She is aware of specific problems in the ward. As a founder member, and Chair for six years, of the Safer Communities Partnership, she has a wealth of experience and contacts to tackle the crime and anti-social behaviour that blights our society. A constant belief is that children should be given a fair start in life, and as our future they and their parents should be supported as much as possible. Older people too should be given every chance to lead full and active lives.
