I was born and bred in Weedon and have seen many changes in the village. Over the years I have been involved with most of the local community groups helping organise their events.

In recent years I became a trustee of the Weedon Sports Association and have been involved with the Weedon Weekender from the start in 2012 with the Jubilee celebrations – there are those of you that will also remember me as the Village Cryer and yes, if you are a dog owner, I am the guy with a pocket full of dog treats!

I have lived in Weedon since July 2014 when a new job meant relocation from Derbyshire. Weedon Bec was the ideal village for us to relocate to being halfway between my husbands work in Lutterworth and our children and grandchildren in Milton Keynes.

We also knew Weedon would be great with its many amenities, a band of local bell ringers, a bridge group and local country side walks for us and our three dogs.

I joined the council in 2015 as a co-opted member.

I am retired, married with two children and four grandchildren. I have lived in the village for 5 years, following 11 years living in Spain.

I came to live in Weedon in the year 2000 and have always enjoyed being part of our community. I first joined the Parish Council in 2003 and stayed for 10 years holding the posts of Vice Chairman and Chairman and becoming involved in many projects during that time. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of the group which ran the Village Fete for 7 years which took place in Croft Way Playing Field – some people may remember the highlights over the years. Following that, I started the Weedon Art Group in 2012 and continued running the group for 7 years. I have now been re-elected to the Parish Council and am Chairman of the Cemetery & Allotment Group and a member of the Infrastructure Group. I continue to be involved in the village with particular interest in allotments, environment and the interests of the elderly in the community.

I have lived in the village now for more than five years now over two spells.

I run my own business specialising in IT and Media Services and enjoy helping in the community where I can.

Originally from Bedfordshire, I moved to Weedon with my now wife in 2005.

The majority of my working life was spent in the food industry, at various locations in the UK.

I've lived in Weedon since 2009 and joined the Parish Council in March 2011 at the suggestion of another councillor. There happened to be a vacancy when I went to a meeting to ask about a planning application. I thought long and hard about joining because I had been a Parish Clerk & Town Councillor elsewhere and understood the work involved.

Having joined, I quickly realised that my previous experience could best be used in planning. I am now retired but my career has been in the social policy and welfare sector including running a Citizens Advice Bureau, planning development of social services in a neighbouring county and jointly working with Milton Keynes health authority to develop new projects and services for older people. My first degree had been in Geography but as my 2 daughters became more independent I went back to University to take a Masters Degree and became a social worker ending my employed working life managing a child protection team.

I have lived in Weedon Bec since 2019, one of my two sons lives here with his family.

I am involved with the village Food Bank and was part of the team which started it. As part of that team, my particular role is to look after the administration and publicity.

I have lived in Weedon Bec since 2007, joining the Parish Council in 2016.

During my time on the Council my main area of focus has been the improvement of the parks and recreational space within the village. In 2018-2019, I played a lead role in the project to upgrade the facilities at Croft Way Playing Field including the new path, fence, play equipment and seating upgrade. I am a member of the Pocket Park team and regularly help with the ongoing maintenance.
