YOUR COUNCILLORS WOUGHTON COMMUNITY COUNCIL 

Hi folk's. My name is Alan Williamson and I am one of your three Beanhill parish councillors. I'm a retired builder and lived on Beanhill for 16 years. Before I became a councillor, I used to go to Moorland and help do a learn to cook cheaply group. 

I'm 76 years young and have been your councillor for the last 7 years and hope some of you have met and I have helped you in some way. If not and you need help, don't be afraid to phone or even knock my door for help in any way that is in my power to do. 

Many thanks Alan 

Having lived in the parish since 1994 (Beanhill since 2014), I am pleased to join Woughton Community Council.  

I was Chairperson for the estate for a while and undertook trips, fundays, litters picks and other projects. I believe that everyone has a voice and should be heard. I helped out in our local community shop for just over a year and met some wonderful people.  

 

I am committed to improving our local environment, tackling issues of litter, fly tipping and dog fouling. I will support residents with issues and concerns which may include drug usage and anti-social behaviour. My door is always open and I have been told I make a wicked cuppa!  

Donna became a Councillor in 2000, she would like the real Woughton to be recognised: A true community, multi cultural, diverse, generational and thriving. Donna is the Leader of the Council. Donna’s family are her favourite past time, but she also likes to relax by reading, knitting and doing crosswords and jigsaws. 

D'Anne was elected in May 2023. Her bio, photo and register of interests will be updated in due course.  

Luke was elected to WCC (Woughton Community Council) in 2019. He became a councillor due to a desire to address long-standing issues which have plagued the estate, most notably concerns surrounding non-residential parking and fly-tipping. Considering this, together with the Eaglestone Residents Association (of which Luke is a Committee Member), he has developed constructive working relationships with statutory bodies like Milton Keynes Council, Thames Valley Police, and the local Hospital to resolve such issues (particularly around parking) through findings solutions which safeguards the needs of our residents, without adversely impacting our local economy and the health service. On the Council, Luke is a member of the Planning, Licencing and Development and Operations and Resources Committees, where he has provided effective scrutiny on Planning Applications which affect his estate and diligence oversight of the Council finances. 

Cllr Holland was co-opted onto the council at the Full Council meeting on the 25th September 2023. Further information to follow. 

 

Michael was elected in May 2023. His bio, photo and register of interests will be updated in due course.  

After being born in Battersea SW London in the 60’s, my family moved to North London - this is where my education happened. 

 

I married at 19 to my first husband and moved to Luton, working at Luton and Dunstable hospital before moving to Northampton, where I changed from working in the hospital to working in a doctors’ surgery. 

After my first marriage ended, I moved onto a narrowboat for 15 years, with Paul, who was my soul mate and became husband no2 in 2003. Paul became too ill to stay living on the boat, so we moved to Beanhill and then Coffee Hall in 2014, where sadly I lost Paul in 2017 to Pulmonary Fibrosis. 

 

I continue to live in Coffee Hall with my German shepherd (Bella) and my chihuahua, Briar. 

I have 3 Stepdaughters and 6 grandchildren who are regulars to Woughton. 

 

I have been a Councillor since 2007 as I wanted to make a difference where I lived and will continue to do my best for the residents of Woughton. I am Chair of Woughton Community Council and I have been Chair for Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Association of Local Council for the last 2 years and continue to Chair Milton Keynes Association of Local Councils.
