Here are our councillors who make up the Parish Council. Rather than delegated responsibilities as we are a small council, councillors work together on tasks as and when they arise, often as a joint effort.

Diana moved to Devon 10 years ago from Chelsfield, Kent with her husband Alan and son Ollie. She ran a graphic design and events company for 20 years. Her hobbies include pottery, basket making, walking and gardening. Diana joined the council in 2016.

Jane moved to Devon 11 years ago from Chiswick, London. She worked within the fashion industry for a sales and marketing company. Now living in Goveton with her husband Jonathan, her hobbies include pottery, basket making, walking and gardening. Jane joined the council in 2017.
