He is a keen walker and cyclist and passionate about improving local infrastructure supporting our local community.

Cllr Wendy Winpenny (Training, Health & Wellbeing)

Wendy has lived in Acol since April 2020 with her husband Gavin, the 8 cats and 6 chickens. Moving to the village during the pandemic strengthened her desire to become part of the community, where over the last couple of years Wendy (and Gavin) have hosted a number of village parties including the Jubilee. Wendy works for the NHS as the Quality, Governance and Professional Lead for the Podiatry service and will use her skills and knowledge when working with her Parish Council colleagues to try to make Acol a safe village to walk around and a hub of community spirit. Wendy became a parish councillor in 2022.
