Doreen is one of those people who quietly goes about her day but leaves an impression in those she meets, i wish her well and it has been a pleasure to work with her and to know her.

Paul Robertson, Kent County Council I wish my vote to go to Paul as he works so hard and is always there to support each member of the community
Don Haysey 20:26 on 23 May 2010
Paul Robertson does a very good job for the community and is well liked by the people of Shoreham.
Doreen Broadfoot 14:13 on 26 May 2010
Doreen is an extremely valuable member of the CMHT. She is dedicated to her work and is extremely respectful of all service users which is most important of all. I cannot believe that she is retiring but her dedication to her work should be rewarded.
Sheila Wilson 13:29 on 27 May 2010
I would like to vote for Paul Robertson who has become a friend to the villages of Shoreham and Otford. He certainly goes that extra mile, providing a safe environment. He always has a welcoming smile and visits the Over 60s club and Age Concern luncheons where he listens to what the elderly have to say. Paul has been an ideal Community Warden, bringing to the job a warmth and friendliness.
