I have lived in the parish of Betchton all my life. I attended Hassall Green Primary School and had to cycle the mile and a half to school each day. I then went to Crewe Grammar School and went on to become a qualified teacher. I have been on the Parish Council for 51 years, having been both Chair and Vice Chair. I care for the parish and it’s people and try my best to support both.

Biog coming soon...

Rob lives on the family farm at Chells Hill with his wife and three children. He runs the dairy and beef farm with his parents and younger brother. In his spare time he enjoys playing sport, particularly hockey and is a member of a local hockey club.

I moved into the parish three years ago, from Flixton, with my husband on his retirement. We have a grown up daughter who works in the NHS.

My career was in retail banking for over 30 years until redundancy, then I worked as a primary school secretary and a school governor. On retirement, I volunteered at my local hospital and joined in the campaign to save it from closure. (Trafford General.)

In my spare time I like gardening, learning to play the piano, art and researching our family history.
