Having had a lengthy career in Planning and heading up a Regional House-building Company, I felt I wanted to join the Parish Council to ‘ give something back ‘ and help our Community.

In my spare time, I like nothing better than to be on the water and can think of nowhere more tranquil.

Richard Bond

Councillor

The Bond family arrived in the village in 1957 and I was at Dittisham Primary School the year it closed in 1968. Read more ...

I joined the parish council as there was a shortage of volunteers due to the aging population and was also interested in how local government worked. I think I have explored all the nooks and crannies of the parish as a child and have now rediscovered them as a Parish Councillor over the last 5 years.

Areas of Special Interest
Footpaths Officer, Car parks, Ham Events & Maintenance, Playground, Regatta Committee.

Sune Nightingale

Councillor

I live in Capton with my wife and 3 children. I was born in Denmark but moved to Capton when I was 5. Read more ...

My aim as a Parish Councillor is to try to do Good for our community. We have some great people on the team and, like me, they volunteer their time for no personal benefit, other than knowing that they are trying to do something helpful. In my free time I like to go surfing and love to watch the sun rise whilst bobbing about at sea.
