Recently retired as a teacher Judith continues to work as a carer. Her three sons grow up in New Milton and they continue to represent the town at cricket and rugby.

Her main concerns are education, housing and families, but she is aware of the lack of facilities, particularly in Ashley for the young, and some of the “interesting” planning decisions recently given New Forest District Council approval for Ashley!

She says “If I were elected as your Councillor I would endeavour to speak up for the residents of Becton.”

John has served for four years on New Milton Town Council when he had a significant input to the drafting of the town’s original traffic plan.

He remains interested in transport planning, along with his interests in military history and travel.
