Bob Child

I’ve lived in Colerne for nearly thirty years, and work at home as a graphic designer, so my main contribution, since becoming a parish councillor in May 2015, is communication. I’ve designed, built and now manage the website and hope it becomes the main village information point.

Anthony Clarke

My wife, Louise, and I have lived in the Market Place for 30 years. I was a Consultant in Rheumatology & Rehabilitation at the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases (the Min) in Bath, also for 30 years. I was the MedicaI Director of the hospital for 15 years. I retired in 2007, when I was elected to represent Lansdown Ward on Bath & North East Somerset Council, which included two years as the Cabinet Member for Transport.

​

Glyn Thomas

Born of Welsh parents and raised in Bathampton, I was educated at Oldfield Boys School in Bath. I then worked at Stothert & Pitt Engineers for 22 years;  travelling all over the UK, Ireland, Europe and Africa. I have been a self employed engineer for 35 years. I have been married to Margaret for 45 years with four children and five grandchildren. I have lived in Colerne for 50 years. I was elected to Colerne Parish Council in 1975, working on the  Rights of Way and Recreation & Allotment committees. I have acted as allotment supervisor for about 35 years. 

Richard Tonge

I have lived in Colerne since 1987 when my company moved me to run an engineering business in Corsham. I have been on the Parish Council for about twenty years, was a District Councillor for ten years and a Wiltshire Councillor for the last seven. At Wiltshire Council I have the responsibility for Finance. I live in Tutton Hill with my wife Monica. My daughter and her family,  including two lively grandsons, live in Malmesbury . While on the Parish Council I led the £450,000  project to convert the Old School. I am a Trustee of the Almshouses in Corsham raising money and helping manage the £1.4million  refurbishment of the Grade 1 listed building.
