Members of the 3 shadow councils
As part of the local government reorganisation process, the establishment of Shadow Parish Councils was approved through a Legal Order, namely The Telford and Wrekin (Re-organisation of Community Governance) Order 2026 dated 21st August 2026, prior to the creation of the new parish councils.
These Shadow Councils have been formed to support the transition to the new arrangements and to ensure continuity of local representation and decision-making. The Shadow Councils provide local leadership, oversee key transitional matters, and help ensure that residents continue to receive effective representation as the new councils are established.
Membership of each Shadow Council has been drawn from elected members of the existing councils, namely Donnington & Muxton Parish Council and St George’s & Priorslee Parish Council. Shadow Councillors work together during the transitional period to prepare for the full operation of the new parish councils.

Born in Fieldhouse Drive in 1974, I am a true ‘Muxtonian’. We are extremely fortunate to live in a historical, low crime, friendly and
picturesque hamlet and I want to do more to support the community.My aim is to ensure that any issues or concerns raised in Muxton are dealt with quickly and effectively as well as improving and enhancing facilities for residents. Muxton residents voice is key to progression, and I am always open to ideas and ready to help.
Some residents will know me from the Seabridge Development appeal 2016/2017. I prepared and presented documents to barristers, petitions, walking developers around Muxton, attending residents housing meetings … we won! I do not oppose sustainable and true affordable developments, I oppose over development on our greenspace and I also stand as a member for Parish Planning committee.
Mummy of four and Grandma of one, I’m a Business Development Manager in Education IT and Chair of Lilleshall Pre-School.

I was was born in Buckie, Banffshire. I moved to Telford over 30 years ago.
Although, I am proud of my Scottish heritage, I consider myself to be a local.Over the years I have been keen to foster good community relationships. In 2015, I was fortunate enough to be elected as a Public Governor, for Midlands Partnership NHS Trust (MPFT). I was re-elected for a second, 3 year term of office in 2018. I have a keen interest supporting those with mental health issues and their carers.
I am new to the ways of a Parish Councillor. However, I believe my role as a Governor will stand me in good stead, as I not afraid to, challenge or question decisions to ensure the needs of the community are heard and met.
I am a Director of Challenging Perceptions, a charity for young people to explore and address mental health issues and wellbeing.
I am looking forward to the new challenge of being a Councillor for Donnington East Ward.

I was delighted to be elected onto Donnington and Muxton Parish Council to represent The Humbers in May 2024. I knew that my
community in The Humbers needed a strong voice to stand up for them, and that is why I put myself forward for this role. I work in the local NHS, and in my spare time I play football for Telford. I have lived in Telford all my life and I will work hard for everybody across The Humbers and would invite anybody to get in touch with me if there is ever anything I can do to help. -
It was an honour to be elected to represent Donnington, my home, on Telford and Wrekin Council as well as on Donnington and Muxton
Parish Council. Whether you voted for me or not, I will serve you as your local Councillor with honest determination and a resilience to make sure that Donnington’s potential is able to reach its maximum.I studied Law at University, and the skills I learnt there will assist me in being able to fight to ensure Donnington gets its fair share and ensure funding for local projects is attained and delivered on.
In my spare time, I like to relax by walking my dog, Buddy, in the beautiful green spaces we have across our Borough in Telford and Wrekin.
