I moved to Poppleton in September 1995 and became a member of Nether Poppleton Parish Council in October 2019 shortly after first being elected as Ward Councillor for Rural West York. I am now in my second term as Ward Councillor and find that being a member of both Upper and Nether Parish Councils is a very good way of keeping in touch with lots of things which are happening in the village and is really invaluable in being able to respond quickly to the needs of all residents.
I feel fortunate to live in Poppleton, which is a beautiful and safe village with friendly residents, many of whom I now know well. It is in an ideal location – just 4 miles from the centre of York, which is easily reached by bus and train – yet lying within the Green Belt, surrounded by open fields and woodlands.
