Worked for ARUP Newcastle until 2000. I was a councillor for Widdrington Station until 2011. I was a trustee, manager, volunteer at ATAC Community Hall until 2025 when I decided to then run for Parish Chair using my previous knowledge as a councillor as reference. I work within the village as a volunteer at Grange Garage and i have lived in village since 2001.

I joined the parish council for Widdrington and Stobswood in May 2025. I was initially drawn to become a councillor, as I wanted to see why the council bills were being increased by an average of 10% and joining the parish council has given me an insight of costs. Following joining I am shocked as to how much the council has to pay out to repair things in the village that have been vandalised.
I moved to the village in 2018 and was struck by how friendly everyone was. I loved the community spirit that evolved during covid, people helping each other out with shopping, the scare crows that everyone made were fantastic.
On a personal level, I retired last year, I can often be seen in the village walking my 3 Shih Tzu’s. I consider myself to be approachable and will do my best to serve the community to the best of my ability.

Sandra Bexfield - Councillor
I have been a parish councillor since April 2025 and previously I was a councillor for Newton on the Moor and Swarland PC for 4years when I lived in Swarland.
I worked for Bellway Homes in the finance dept for 26 years retiring in 2008.
I take pride in Widdrington Station, and I work alongside the other Parish Councillors in the day-to-day occurrences that may arise.
I strongly believe in honesty, integrity and full transparency and traceability in all our actions.
