Colin Haines
Elected

I have lived in Cressing for 55 years and joined the Parish Council about 14 years ago to offer my services as I had a lot of knowledge of the area over the many years I have lived here. My interests are gardening and photography. My wife’s name is Jacqueline and we have been married 56 years. Previous to retiring, I worked for the Evening Standard for 41 years, starting in the West Country and finally in 1962 came into this area managing Circulation and Promotions for Essex and bordering Counties for the newspaper.

My name is Eileen Mottershead. I am retired and have lived in the village for 5years now. My hobbies are reading walking drawing & puzzles. I like to help out where I can in the village. I also help deliver the community magazine. I also like to support the functions at the church lunches etc. I just like to think I could do more for the village.
