WINTER 2023 10 www.sandridge-pc.gov.uk I grew up in the South of England, mostly in Kent. My wife and I met in 2009 before moving to Jersey Farm in 2014. We moved primarily for my work, which is based over in Ware, although since the pandemic, working from home on multiple days a week means that I do still spend a chunk of the working week in the Parish. Interests We have three young children, all now attending our brilliant local schools, and the latest addition to our family is Penny the Puggle, who adores being taken for walks in the wonderful green spaces that we are lucky enough to have here on our doorstep. Both inside and outside of work, I have a keen interest in all things sustainability, and to relax, I enjoy playing with our children, as well as going to gigs, both comedy and music. I’m also a keen football fan, especially the fantasy variety, so my interest in the Premier League stretches outside of my one club. Having only recently joined the Parish Council, I’m still very much learning the ropes, but I hope to be able to make some positive contributions to our Parish, particularly as regards the local playgrounds and topics relating to sustainability. It’s great to be able to learn from some of the more experienced members of the Council, and, at the same time, it feels good being part of the new in!ux of Councillors who are all as excited as I am to make an impact.
