YOUR PARISH COUNCILLORS
« In their own words - pen portraits of your local councillors to help you recognise them around the village and show they are people too. More Eynsham people here.

LESLIE GERRANS
I joined the Council in 1990 because I was interested in the village and wanted to know and help with how it worked. Since arriving here in 1973 I have got to know so many people, how much our community depends on them – in fact, what is village life. With my interests ranging from gardening, schools, churches and the villagers, old and young, I love living here and do what I can to maintain village life. As a member of the Parish Council’s Planning Committee I am well aware of the good and bad of development proposals and hope I make the right decisions.
Leslie also serves on the Senior Committee and represents the Council on the Allotments Association, Eynsham Charities and St Leonard's Churchyard.

MARION SHEPPARD
I moved into Eynsham a few years ago, after 32 years in Headington Quarry. This is a return visit though – I lived here for 7 years in the 1960s and came back because I believe it still enjoys a traditional village atmosphere and facilities. My husband, Ian, has joined the Morris Dancers and I look forward to getting involved in the community too – having more time since I retired. In Headington I was a governor of the Middle School as well as treasurer/booking secretary for the Community Centre. My main hobby is playing bridge at Oxford Bridge Club, where I am chief scorer and a member of the Management Committee.
Marion serves on the Communications, Planning and Play Areas Committees.

JACKIE TINSON
I love living in Eynsham, having been in the village for 24 years, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else! Working in the village is also a bonus. Being on the Parish Council has given me the opportunity to be more involved in village life. I enjoy cycling, swimming, keep-fit and travel and enjoy spending time in my garden, which keeps me busy.
Jackie serves on the Footpaths Committee.
