I came to Wendover in 1964 as my husband joined the GP Practice. We came with one child and had four more here in Wendover. I am also involved as a Verger at St. Marys Church. I help at the Youth Centre, where I am a Trustee and am on the Committee for Wendover Dementia Alliance. I love Wendover and being on the Parish Council is a good way of helping people. jennifer.ballantine@wendover-pc.gov.uk

Hailing from Harrow I followed the well-trodden trail up the A41 and eventually settled here 4 years ago with my wife and 2 primary school age boys. I am a Sustainable Construction Consultant and therefore have a professional and personal interest in climate change and sustainability. I enjoy all sports - particularly running, skateboarding and football. I also love music, pubs and the outdoors. I am keen to improve the outdoor amenities particularly for young people. mark.standen@wendover-pc.gov.uk My wife and I moved to Wendover in 2016, and we love the town’s bustle and its warmth. We have 3 boys, all in school and nursery in Wendover. I am a qualified solicitor and work full time as Head of Legal at a property management company. I became involved with the Parish Council through joining its Open Spaces working group. I applied to become a councillor to help protect all that is great about Wendover and to work on the bits that can be made even better. sam.walker@wendover-pc.gov.uk I was born and raised in Wendover and was educated at the local schools. I have 2 daughters that both went to John Colet and both still work and live locally. I also have a grandaughter that is currently at Wendover C of E School. I currently live and work in the centre of Wendover and enjoy meeting and talking to local people about all aspects of our community. diane.washington@wendover-pc.gov.uk I live in Wendover with my husband and our daughter who attends John Hampden School. I hope to contribute to the improvement and maintenance of what Wendover has to offer for young people and families. I am also passionate about supporting local businesses so that we as a community encourage the enterprising skills of local people over large commercial interests. I support sustainable local development and the protection of our environment. julie.williams@wendover-pc.gov.uk I have been a resident in Wendover since 1983 having had my last RAF posting at RAF Halton.
