I moved to Northstowe in 2018 and have lived in Cambridgeshire all of my adult life. I work as an IT Solutions Engineer for a multi-national software company, dealing with complex sets of requirements and designing and delivering cost-effective solutions in a timely manner.

I have often been encouraged to take part in local democracy by friends involved in Parish Councils, and the formation of Northstowe Town Council felt like the right time to put myself forward. Areas I am particularly passionate about are open space management and the future of the Greenbelt changes, ensuring that the Town Council can grow other revenue streams beside precept and ensuring that development is of the highest possible quality and the developers meet their Section 106 obligations on time.

Together let's make sure that Northstowe is a great place to live, work and visit.

A very friendly and approachable IT Consultant
who has worked in various civil service departments for around 20 years and
left civil service, to do a Masters in Computer Science.

I moved to Northstowe from London in August 2019 with my husband and son and fell in love with the diverse and growing community here. I have helped set up several clubs and communities in Northstowe and am an active member in all of them.

As a Town Councillor my priorities will be on making Northstowe safer by helping prevent crime, organise events for the community that are affordable by everyone and for all age groups young or old, tackle mental health, domestic violence and work towards the well-being of the community. My focus will also be on sustainability and climate change.

Born and raised in Cambridge, I am familiar with the area and understand the challenges faced by residents across the county. My IT consultancy career has allowed opportunities to live in multiple places and travel the world. This has given me a well-rounded perspective and valuable experience.

We moved to Northstowe to raise our family. As part of that I want to give back to the community and make this new town somewhere residents are proud to live. I am passionate about sustainability, local business and providing services for all residents.

The possibilities for Northstowe are endless and I believe we should all be able to have a voice and shape its future. Ensuring accountability with the developers, making certain that facilities are provided where required, and that the community is given the best chance of success are top priorities for me.

I moved to Northstowe in December 2017 with my wife and son. Before that, I lived in Chesterton, Cambridge for 7 years. I work as a business development executive for an aerospace & automotive company based in Cambridge.

I was a Parish Councillor in the combined Northstowe & Longstanton Parish Council before being elected to the Northstowe Town Council. Being a Councillor gives me the chance to represent the views of the local people, ensure that community interests are taken into account and be involved in shaping the future of the local community.

I enjoy playing badminton and tennis.

I am a scientist and a mother who cares deeply about where we raise our children and the foundations we lay for our future,

When I think of Northstowe, I think of "our home" and the collective responsibility we have to make all it needs to be for us - a place where everyone feels welcome, heard and included amongst others.

As Town Councillor three things will guide my service - our children, our future, our home.

I have lived nearby since my family moved to the area in 1987. I went to school in St Ives and University at ARU in Cambridge. Prior to moving to Northstowe in 2022 my partner and I lived in Fen Drayton for 11 years. We moved to Northstowe to be in a young and growing community, and I would like to contribute to that.

I retired, from the Further Education service in 2010 moving to Longstanton, after having been both a Lecturer and latterly a Manager.

I have taken a keen interest in the development of new towns , and was involved in the consultation prior to the start of the building of Northstowe. I moved into Northstowe 15 months ago

I want to be part of developing Northstowe, as somewhere that has all the best aspects of other new towns and none of their disadvantages. It is inspiring to be part of such a culturally diverse community. If we can get the build rate up then we can trigger the development of more community facilities, like Doctors' surgeries, Libraries etc
