A new episode of News Direct offers a candid and personal insight into the life of local councillor Andrea Davison, exploring the experiences, motivations and challenges that sit behind public service.
In conversation with host Cllr Rob Waltham, Andrea reflects on growing up in North Lincolnshire, leaving school during one of the toughest periods for youth employment, and the path that led her into public service – from working in an MP’s office to holding senior leadership roles within North Lincolnshire Council.
Cllr Waltham said: “Andrea and I have been fierce opponents in the council chamber at times, but we also have more in common than people might expect. We both care deeply about our communities, and when it comes to doing the right thing for residents, labels matter far less than shared purpose.”
The episode goes beyond formal politics, focusing instead on real life: balancing work and family, advocating for residents when systems feel overwhelming, and the importance of lived experience in local decision-making.
Andrea also speaks openly about the barriers women face in politics, the impact of online abuse on public life, and why scrutiny, challenge and collaboration matter in serving communities well.
Cllr Davison told the podcast: “People often think councillors are distant or robotic, but we’re not. We’re parents, neighbours and part of the same communities we serve. Most of us are here because we care deeply about people and about trying to make things better, even when the system feels overwhelming.”
The episode also touches on Andrea’s advice for anyone considering getting involved in their community, encouraging people to volunteer, shadow others, and not rule themselves out of making a difference.
News Direct is a podcast series focused on real lives, real stories and the people who help shape North Lincolnshire – often away from headlines and formal meetings.
