When I moved to Wyboston 17 years ago it was still very much a Land Settlement Village and I am pleased to have seen it then and to see it now, although some significant developments have not always added to the area. I have served on the Roxton Parish Council for 7 years and also serve as Mother to my daughter Louise, wife to Adrian, and a Business Partner. I am optimistic that I can help to make a bigger difference with the new Wyboston Chawston and Colesden Parish Council and will strive to ensure that it is run efficiently and as fairly as possible. |

Married to Susie, we have 4 adult children and two grandchildren. We moved to Colesden 3½ years ago after living in Mid Bedfordshire for a number of years. The main reason for our move was to enjoy the quiet rural environment of Colesden and the surrounding area. After more than 40 years working within the commercial field of large international businesses, I am retiring at the end of April 2007. My main issues are road safety, the preservation of our local environment and the enjoyment of an enhanced quality of life for people of all ages. |

My wife Anne and I moved to Colesden in February 2003 for a quieter environment away from the overcrowded roads of Hertfordshire. We have 4 children who have their own homes around the UK and 3 grandchildren. Prior to moving here I was the Operations Director of an electrical surge protection company. We now have a small farm with our carriage driving ponies and a growing herd of Dexter cattle. I have always had a love of our countryside and am keen to help maintain the environment of our villages. I joined the Parish Plan working group a year ago and am now its chairman. I now have the opportunity to continue this as a member of our new Parish Council. |
