Sue Lent

Sue Lent (born 1952) is a British peace campaigner who was one of the 36 women who took part in the march from Cardiff, Wales to RAF Greenham Common near Newbury, Berkshire in England in August and September 1981, which led to the formation of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. A social worker, she has served as a county councillor in Wales and as deputy leader of Cardiff council. She is a member of the Welsh Labour Party.

Early life and education Lent was born in Manchester in 1952 and educated at Ashton-under-Lyne Grammar School. She graduated from Cardiff University in 1973, having studied English and philosophy, and obtained a social work diploma there in 1978. She worked as a social worker for Monmouthshire County Council.

In 2021 she took part in part of the 40th anniversary march, organised by Scary Little Girls, that followed the same route from Cardiff to Greenham. She said that she was paying tribute to the original organisers who, in the era before social media and mobile phones, had turned up in Cardiff not knowing how many women would be there. She told The Guardian that "I'm proud that I went. I think what Greenham teaches us is that you should never doubt that a small number of people can make a difference. Even if you don't think you can do anything, you should do it anyway.”

Political activities Lent was elected to Cardiff council in 1995, serving until 2004. She has said that she is not sure that she would have had the confidence to stand for the council without her Greenham experience.
