Your Councillors

'Jenkins', Bulmer Tye, Bulmer, CO10 7EE

A Bulmer resident for over 30 years I was superintendent physiotherapist at Walnuttree Hospital before retiring 9 years ago. I have been a councillor for 20 years and chairman for the past 3 years. Having spent virtually all my life living in rural areas I believe I have an understanding of the pleasures and problems of country living. My vision for Bulmer is that it should remain a vibrant community, with residents of all ages and backgrounds prepared to work together for the village and its future.

I am married with two sons and four granddaughters. During my working life I served as a Fire Officer in the London Fire Brigade for 34 years specialising in Fire Safety Engineering during the last ten years. After retiring from the Fire Service I spent 5 years with Barts and the London NHS Trust. On retirememt  I  moved from Chigwell Essex to Bulmer in November 2003, having lived all my life, apart from two years, in Essex where I was born. I am a volunteer for Sudbury Common Lands, The Stour Valley Trust and Melford Hall (room steward). I am currently Church Warden for St Andrew's Church Bulmer. Having lived here for nearly four years I appreciate the outstanding countryside in the Parish and would wish to preserve it for future generations. 

I live in the family house, where I was born, 18 years ago(2009). I am very proud to have been born and bred in the village and because of that and my love for Bulmer; I always take a lively interest in what is going on in and around the area.

I attended the privately run nursery and went onto the village primary school. Both gave me a really good start in life. I later attended Hedingham School. I have studied, Horse Management at Whittle College and I am now at Colchester Institute studying I.T.

I can often be seen around the village on my bike, walking our dog or out riding one of the horses. Through these activates, I have met lots of people.

On a daily basis, I help care for a pony and exercise her. I also help and ride for another local lady and have done for a few years now. My other hobbies include photography, old buildings and architecture, sewing and design and arts and crafts. I have joined the newly formed craft workshops being held at the village hall.
