Current Chairman. Served on the Council since May

I am married with two daughters. I have spent all, apart from one year
of my married life in the village. I worked in engineering for 20 years
before changing direction completely to run a local pet shop and aquatic
centre. I enjoy gardening, sport and regularly play squash at a local
club. I am keen to work towards retaining, and where possible, protecting
the village way of life.
