John Potter
Chairman
I have lived in Sawtry since July 2002 and joined the Parish Council towards the end of 2018.
I was the lead councillor in developing our Neighbourhood Plan, with the support of a professional consultant. Following Sawtry's Neighbourhood Plan Referendum a majority voted in favour of HDC using the Neighbourhood Plan to help decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area.

Joy Isaacs
Councillor
As a proud resident of Sawtry, I am committed to making a positive impact within our community. With a background as a change professional, I bring experience in driving meaningful improvements and fostering collaboration.
In addition to serving as a member of the Community Committee on the Parish Council, I am also the Women's Officer for Huntingdon, advocating for women's rights and opportunities. I am passionate about cross-generational community cohesion, ensuring that Sawtry remains a welcoming and inclusive place for all.
Through my work on the Parish Council, I aim to support initiatives that strengthen our local connections and enhance the well-being of residents across all age groups

Monika Margetts
Councillor
I moved to Sawtry in 2012. When my children were little I have worked at the Infant School and volunteered at the Children Centre. Sawtry have wonderful amenities and ever growing, new community initiatives which I hope to support.
As a councillor I would love to see more opportunities for teenagers developed in Sawtry.

Lee White
Councillor
I moved to Sawtry back in June 1997 and have never looked back. I moved from East London and it was initially a massive shock going from the hustle and bustle to the lovely quiet village that Sawtry is. Sawtry is a fantastic Village and that is why I joined the Parish Council back in June 2021.
Being part of the Parish Council I believe we can make a difference and make Sawtry even better than it currently is.
Some of the responsibilities I have to oversee, as my role on the Parish Council, include Bus shelters, Benches, Allotments and Green spaces. I am also on two committees that oversee Staffing and the Amenities within Sawtry.
I am a great believer that we can all do a small bit to make a big difference.
