Characters
- Born: 29 May 1947
- Status: Married
- Occupation: Hotel receptionist
The sight of Lynda Snell approaching on her trusty bicycle has sent many a villager scurrying for cover as they wonder what project she's about to cajole them into. Love her or hate her, she certainly gets things done. If you need a piece of land protecting or a building saving, Lynda's your woman. She will grasp a campaign and pursue it like a terrier until all around her wilt under the pressure.
She shows a similar tenacity with her amateur dramatic productions, beating people into submission with her school ma'am tones and sniffy attitude. She has a softer side though, reserved for husband Robert, llamas Constanza, Wolfgang and Salieri, and rather surprisingly many of Ambridge's teenagers.
