Serving the local community
Chair
I went to Eastington School, and in 1953 moved to a new council house in Victoria Drive. While bringing up four children I was involved in village life, starting up a Brownie pack and on to Guides, and later forming the Eastington Youth Group (now known as Friends of Snakey Park). I was initially co-opted onto the Parish Council in 2010 and re-elected in 2016.

I’ve lived in the village all my life and seen many changes. I run a dairy farm at Alkerton and have served on the Parish Council for many years.
Councillor
I was born in Devon but have spent most of my life in Gloucestershire. I moved to Eastington 23 years ago and I have no plans to move from this lovely Village. I joined the Parish Council following my retirement at Wycliffe College, where I have worked in their Finance Department for over 16 years. I respect the commitment and the hard work that has been involved in making this such a lovely place to live. I welcome the opportunity and look forward to be able to serve and support this wonderful community to the best of my ability.

I am still self-employed part time as a Drainage and Civil Engineering consultant.
