Councillors
Councillors elect their chairman and a vice-chairman each year at the Council’s Annual Meeting in May. The same meeting agrees committees, including their chairman/vice, and representatives to outside bodies. Councillors are also appointed to carry out the Council’s own inspections on various of its assets.
Nigel Harrison
Chair
Nigel moved to Grayshott in 2019 after a long military career that included global operational tours and senior roles in programme management, HR, finance, and procurement.
Following a second career in cyber security, he is now
semi‑retired but works from home on a small number of commitments while dedicating time to the village he and his partner Karen consider their forever home. Nigel focuses on good governance, financial accountability, strengthening community facilities, events, and the local environment. He aims to help ensure Grayshott remains a thriving, welcoming village for future generations.
