Introducing your new Parish Councillors:

We said that we would introduce the three members of the Parish Council who joined for the first time in June this year: here is the second instalment

Dave Parkinson

Dave Parkinson
Dave works as a sound supervisor and Radio Producer at the BBC in Bristol. He's been there for so long that he can't remember when he started, but one of his highlights was working on Big Cat Diary in Kenya. After you've been face to face with a lion, how hard can parish council meetings be?

Dave and Sarah have lived in the village for nearly ten years, but realise they won't be locals for another century or two. They were delighted to find what a special community feeling Abbots Leigh has and have been active members of the Garden Club since they came.

When not poring over planning applications, Dave can usually be found in his garden or trying to improve his Italian.
