Cllr Stuart Keighley, Chairman Chair: BM Working Group Stuart moved to Luddington in 2015 with his wife Claire and their two boys after 12 years living close to town. He says “it feels like we are home now” after living in various parts of England and Scotland during his 40 years in the Construction Materials Industry. Stuart has joined the Parish Council because he strongly believes in Local Government providing a proactive service for local people, to engage and include so that health and wellbeing and community can thrive. He wants to help it achieve that and make Luddington an even better place to live. He feels very fortunate to have worked for a Global organisation with Local businesses which gave him valuable insights of the priorities of responsible management, sustainable development and actions required to mitigate the impacts of climate change. All of which he feels he can bring to support his new role at the Parish Council. Stuart is a lover of the great outdoors and you may see him gardening, walking the dog or cycling off to tennis. His “Great Escape” plan involves a getaway on one of his vintage motorbikes! Stuart says it is an honour to take up the post of Chairman of the Parish Council and looks forward to working with the Team in the exciting period that lies ahead. |

Cllr Rod Barnett I was born in Sheep Street in Stratford on Avon over 70 years ago and bought my first house, Garden Cottages off Shakespeare Street in the late 60’s. I spent two years at Leamington Art School in the 60’s after which I worked in advertising agencies as a Graphic Designer before becoming a Portrait and Wedding Photographer specialising in Portraits in the Home Photography. This involved cold calling, booking to take photographs of children, families, pets etc and then returning week/ten days later to sell packs of photographs. My experience of cold calling also allowed me to work for many well known companies selling their services door to door over the years. I was a Luddington Parish Councillor for around ten years from 1999 and enjoyed helping the local community and now retired feel I have the time and energy to help the local community as a Parish Councillor once again. |
