I have lived in the Parish for 17 years and really appreciate it's beautiful rural location and friendly residents.
My interests include gardening and animal welfare. I also like to cook and trying out new recipes.
I enjoy being involved in community projects such as improving and maintenance of the local foot paths in Sutton on Tern so that they are accessible for all to use and enjoy.

Terry Hodge - Vice Chair
I'm Terry Hodge, I'm originally from the East End of London and have gradually moved away over the years. I've lived in the parish for just over a year now and love the beautiful landscape, peace and serenity of the area.
I have two dogs and can usually be seen walking them somewhere most days.
I work 'in IT' for a major multinational company but mostly work from home in a home office that overlooks the fields and hills and I'm a councillor as I'd like to give something back to the community.
