A little about Andrew
I am in fulltime employment for an engineering company I helped to establish 35 years ago. I was born and raised on Green Lane, Wickersley. As a kid, my playground was an old quarry off Rosemary Road that was used as a tip for old fridges and washing machines! Our children deserve better! A parish councillor for over 12 years, I have pride in my village to give it the best we can acquire regardless of how long it takes to get there. I have always been charity minded. I try do my bit for Wickersley to continue to be a good place to live, work, and spend time in.

A little bit about Kim
I have lived in Wickersley for 22 years with my husband and (now) grown up children.
My family have had the privilege of growing up in the Wickersley Community, attending St Albans and Wickersley Academy and my decision to became a Councillor was made in the hope of offering something back to the community which has enabled a happy family life for a number of years.
I work full time for RMBC and am able to use the experience from this employment to assist in the running of the community centre and supporting the other committees which I am a member.

I also represent the Parish council on other bodies

A little about Marie
I am a lifelong resident of the Parish, being born here in my grandma's back bedroom!
I lived on the same street as my grandma growing up with my family, of which I am the youngest of 4 children. My family have a long history in Wickersley, in fact my grandma lived at the Wickersley Institute as a child.
I have one son who is now grown up and a granddaughter. We love spending time walking in and around the village.
I am very community minded and can often be seen out with my neighbour litter collecting keeping our streets tidy.
After being involved in the Steering Group which is preparing the Wickersley Neighbourhood Plan assisted by specialist consultants, I applied for a vacant seat on Wickersley Parish Council and was accepted.
I joined the Parish Council in the hope that I could make a difference to it on behalf of the residents.

Cllr. Oladipo Oseni
Oladipo represents the North Ward is a member of the following committees:-
Events Committee
Recreation and Environment Committee
Allotments
Below is little about Oladipo:
I've lived in Whiston and East Dene, but when it came time to move, I really wanted somewhere with a strong sense of community. Wickersley ticked all the boxes—and it hasn't disappointed.
My passion for community development and bringing people together is what led me to become a parish councillor. I've studied Sociology (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) and also hold a Master's in Real Estate from Sheffield Hallam University. Work-wise, I've been a Project Coordinator in an NGO, a Property Manager in the real estate sector, and now I work as a carer supporting vulnerable adults.
These experiences have given me a good understanding of housing, maintenance, local projects, and social welfare. I'm here to listen, support, and help make a positive difference in our community.
