Vice Chair

In 1965, after GCE exams were over, I and several other boys from my school acted as classroom assistants at a school for disabled children. The courage displayed by these children had a profound effect on me and after my experiences in those few weeks I realised that my future lay in supporting and helping people.

Now, after nearly 60 years working in the public sector, I am Vice Chair of Fradley Parish Council, where I and my fellow Councillors are committed to providing residents with the best possible services and facilities.

Cllr Glen Bown

Chair

I have lived in Fradley for 5 years and want to help make it even better.

I am married and have two adult sons. I am a retired teacher. My interests include the arts, creative writing and pub quizzes.

I think we are lucky to live in such an excellent place, but feel that there is still much to develop with regard to the social and recreational facilities for all residents. Our village environment is attractive and I am determined to help make it even more appealing.

Fradley is at a pivotal point in its development and I am delighted to become Fradley Parish Council's first elected Chair.

I joined Fradley Parish Council in 2023 having moved to the village from Armitage in January 2022.

Cllr Mike Ashcroft

Councillor

07866 437965

I moved to Fradley in 2019 just in time to enter the first lockdown.

I joined the Fradley United volunteers and helped vulnerable residents with prescriptions and shopping. It was very worthwhile, as many of them wouldn't have any other human contact.

Having been a school governor, a Magistrate and an NHS volunteer driver, I firmly believe in giving back to my community.

The logical next step was to become a Parish Councillor, which I did in 2023.

We meet monthly to discuss the needs of Fradley residents, and seek to have the best impact available in improving our village.
