Your councillors:

 

Paul Lane  01963 362707

Paul has lived in the village all his life. He is a member of the Welcome Club who have a monthly meeting in the village hall, and has recently joined the Sports Club committee. Paul helped to get the new play area up and running and until recently has kept the play-area grass in order with Delia's help, as well as voluntarily maintaining the equipment.  He has seen a lot of changes over the years, some good some bad, but he would not like to live anywhere else.

 

Roger Paull  01963 362014

Roger has lived in Stourton Caundle for all of his life, initially on the family farm where he worked after leaving school until his father’s retirement in 1998.  He is married to Rachel and they have two children, Christopher and Samantha .  He has always been an active person within the village and holds where we live to be a pure pleasure; as a former landlord of the Trooper Inn he fully understands community spirit and how important it is.

Roger’s focus is on improving our amenities and letting things adapt to modern day living.  He has seen the consequences of fossilising little communities and will strive to see Stourton Caundle evolve and hold on to the values that we all enjoy; a mix of old and youth is what makes our village unique.
