I am a retired NHS employee who has lived in the Painswick Parish for a little over five years. I am passionate about the building of a local, sustainable and environmentally friendly community, which allows for sensitive development of Painswick and its surrounding countryside. I am an active supporter and committee member of the Painswick Beacon Conservation Group having joined the weekend after I moved here. I would welcome the opportunity to play an active part in the encouragement and management of this as a member of the Parish Council.
