Parish Council

Cllr Emily Cannon

I’m standing for Parish Councillor because our community deserves better communication, consistency, and openness. I moved to the village in early 2019 and quickly became part of local life. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I was one of the founders of the Papworth Everard Community Group, supporting children and families with food parcels, helping to reach out to vulnerable residents and reduce loneliness, delivering prescriptions, and creating over 300 food parcels for families over 18 months.

In my professional life, I work with people from all backgrounds and global locations, utilising strong skills in communication and organisation. These skills I believe can strengthen our parish Council and benefit our village.

Too often, decisions have felt unclear or disconnected. I will prioritise clear communication and engagement of our community, regular meetings, and proper use of community facilities, always listening and representing residents with honesty and transparency.
