Sean Malone - Councillor

I live in Acklington, and consider myself privileged to serve the community as a Parish Councillor. Acklington has much to celebrate: beautiful homes, surrounded by wonderful countryside, populated by friendly, talented, energised people.

Above all, I believe Acklington is a forward-looking village: always preserving the best of its rich heritage, whilst embracing the new opportunities of the future.

Tony Mezza - Councillor

I and my wife were born in Ireland in a big city. In 1974 work brought us to Acklington village before work took me all over Europe and the Middle East doing various jobs, in both the private and public sectors.

In May 1992 work took me back to Northumberland and we ended up Acklington again, managing all aspects of Health and Safety and The Environment.

When I retired my wife and I decided to stay in Acklington as Mary loved this place and I hope that by being a parish councillor I can contribute in a small way to keeping it a small County village.

I have lived in Acklington since 2003, having moved here from the Sussex coast with my family. I worked in the Civil Service for over 40 years retiring in 2019. I have always taken an active part in our local community. I enjoy walking my dog Barney around the village and chatting with everyone who I meet which keeps me abreast of local concerns that can be addressed at our local Parish Council meetings. I have been a Parish Councillor since 2017 and thoroughly enjoy being actively involved in planning for our future whilst still celebrating the history of Acklington.

Simon Caiger

My wife and I have lived in Acklington for very nearly ten years.

I am a keen walker and enjoy using the footpaths around the village and the wider county.

Having now retired from professional engineering I am pleased to have more time to contribute to the village community and was delighted to be accepted onto the Parish Council with this goal in mind.
