Councillors

Councillor Shaun Bell

I have lived in Broxtowe for the last three years, and am passionate about local issues and getting involved where I can. In the past I have been involved in various different community projects. I work in the local area. Outside of work when not working on community projects I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Councillor Helen Cutting

Councillor John Doddy

Councillor Martin Follows

I have lived in Trowell since 2017.

Before I retired I was a Chartered Civil Engineer, with experience in drainage and flooding, highway maintenance, street lighting and emergency planning.

As a Councillor, I will listen to and represent the community, especially different groups like older people and those without access to the internet and social media.

I will alert the relevant authorities to problems that have arisen, or work that needs to be done.

I can be contacted via the Parish council web site and email address.

Councillor Thomas Hall

“I have lived in Trowell the whole of my life and spent seven happy years attending Trowell C of E Primary School. I stayed in the local area after finishing college, and I secured a First Class Master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Nottingham. I am now training to be an Assistant Accountant at a Nottinghamshire company. I joined the Council because I want to help keep Trowell the great place it is and contribute towards the future of our great village. I also want to bring a young perspective to the important decisions and issues that the Council are responsible for in our community.”

Councillor Cynth McGann

I joined the Parish Council in 2006. I have two children and three grandchildren. I had to give up work due to my disabilities. I use a wheelchair or electric scooter to get around so appreciate some of the problems associated with access and disabilities, so I advise the council on accessibility issues for the village and hall.

Councillor Don Pringle

I have lived in Trowell since 1990, previously served as a Parish Councillor from 2015 until September 2023. My commitments at the time, meant that I was not able to give my full attention to my parish council duties.

I am now available again, to fully commit to serving Trowell Residents.

As your Parish Councillor, I will work hard to ensure that our Footpaths and Bridleways are always fit to use. We are extremely lucky to have a good network of them around the village.

Since 2015, I have worked hard to minimise the nuisance we sadly continue to have in the village with Odours from the adjoining Industrial Estate. I report road surfaces on a daily basis using the MyNotts App. Which I recommend everyone to use, using it, accurately pin points, issues with roads, potholes, street lights and pavements.

I am very happy to help any resident needing assistance, my Contact details are available on the Parish Council Website.
