Parish Council Candidate

Grant Cooper

I have proudly served on the Parish Council for the past three years, with a clear focus on improving our community and supporting residents through positive, practical change.

As a parent with a young family, I am passionate about creating opportunities for all generations, particularly our younger residents. Alongside my council role, I have been actively involved in coaching children’s football in the village for ages 5–12, helping to promote teamwork, wellbeing, and the importance of staying active outdoors.

I strongly believe that a thriving village should offer inclusive opportunities for everyone. I am committed to developing new initiatives that enhance community life, including improved facilities for young people such as a skate park and 3G sports provision, while ensuring there are spaces and activities that benefit all age groups.

My approach is centred on being open, approachable, and forward-thinking—working collaboratively to bring meaningful improvements to our village. I am passionate about building on the progress we have made and would greatly value the opportunity to continue serving the community as part of the Parish Council.
