My family have been residents of Bishop’s Waltham for over 30 years, so almost a local. My children attended the local schools and joined in with many of the clubs in Bishop’s Waltham. My husband runs his company locally in Shedfield so we are very invested in where we live. I am an avid walker, with 3 dogs who keep me busy. I also volunteer for the Gateway club and in the past have been a Guider, helped out at the primary school with reading, and joined in with various community groups. I look forward to helping our community within the Parish Council.

I grew up in Hedge End and I still have lots of family in the surrounding area, but I left to attend university and then spent my career in finance living variously in London, New York and Hong Kong, before moving with my young family to Bishop’s Waltham in 2020. I have two daughters who attend the local schools and the whole family are active in various local clubs and activities. We love to explore the surrounding countryside (and pubs), for which our area is particularly blessed. I hope to bring to the council my time, energy and life experience to contribute in making and preserving Bishop’s Waltham as a great place to live for all its residents.

I have lived in Bishop’s Waltham my entire life, just over 31 years. In my early years I went to school in Swanmore and played as a goalkeeper for Bishop’s Waltham Dynamo’s. After leaving college, I began working in A&E at our local hospital, the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, so may have at some point patched you up! I ended up working in the hospital for a total of nine years during which I also volunteered with the Bishop’s Waltham Community Responders for 5 years. Due to the increasing pressures on NHS staff, I changed career by studying at Southampton Solent University in Software Development and after graduating, I now work at HMS Collingwood creating digital training media for the Royal Navy. Bishop’s Waltham is my hometown and I, as a Parish Councillor, hope to give back to the community in some way.

I have lived in the Meon Valley area since 1982, previously in Swanmore then Droxford. I always used Bishop’s Waltham for my shopping and doctor’s services. I taught at Swanmore College for twenty-five years and many of the residents of Bishop’s Waltham were my pupils during that time. Eventually I moved to Bishop’s Waltham in 2013. I have volunteered in many community organisations since I retired. The Meon Valley Foodbank and as a volunteer on the minibus being two examples. I became a parish councillor in 2016. I love living in Bishop’s Waltham and aim to keep our village an ‘inspiring place to live’.

I moved to Bishop’s Waltham when it was a Parish, some 30 years ago, we have lived in the same house ever since. When working, Bishop’s Waltham was central, reducing travel. My children were both educated in local schools, hobbies for them being Scouts, Cubs, Swimming and football. Over the years I have been President of BW Dynamos, Chairman of Bishop’s Waltham Scouts and a trustee of the North Pond Conservation Group. I have represented Bishop’s Waltham and Winchester City Council as a member of the Planning Committee. Now retired I rejoined Bishop’s Waltham Parish Council and am looking forward to serving our community.

Our family has lived in Bishop’s Waltham for over 50 years and I am honoured to continue its tradition of community involvement – my mother was the local dentist for many years and my father was active in the Hamble Valley Rotary Club. After spending over two decades working in Hong Kong and the Middle East, during which we regularly returned including to have our daughter christened at St Peter’s Church, my wife, children and I moved back in 2020. Accustomed to access outside spaces being limited, it is a privilege to be back here and to be able to the enjoy the facilities available.
