A retired Chartered Mechanical Engineer, I served as a school governor for 15 years and have a keen interest in preserving the culture and heritage of the village and surrounding Parish.  I was a key member for the Parish Council in the development of the Neighbourhood Plan to ensure the community has a voice in maintaining the character and charm of the village.

I was married in the village, my children attended Cotherstone School and I really can't imagine living anywhere else. Come rain or shine, I can be seen locally walking my two family dogs and love chatting and catching up with residents and visitors alike. When not working or in the village, I will be pursuing my sporting passions of cricket in the summer and football in winter. As an active supporter of community groups and local businesses, it’s a privilege to be a Cotherstone Parish Councillor. I am keen to see growth and progression in the area whilst helping to protect and maintain its traditional heritage and beauty. Cllr Chris Roberts Tel. 07734 441434 Email cllrchrisroberts@cotherstoneparishcouncil.gov.uk Cllr Jenny Watson Tel. 01833 650668 Email cllrjennywatson@cotherstoneparishcouncil.gov.uk I have lived in Cotherstone most of my life and have been a Parish Councillor for nearly 30 years. Before that I was Clerk to the Council and Cotherstone/Lartington Burial Board. During that time the Cemetery was extended and the Parish Council took over the running of it. I am also Chairman of Cotherstone Village Hall and until 2019 was on the Fun Weekend committee. I have the interests of the village and community very much in my heart. I feel we are so lucky to have a village school, play park, 2 pubs, a village hall and community cafe; these all help to keep our village so vibrant.
