Sune Nightingale

Sune Nightingale

Chair

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.

Richard Bond

Vice-Chair

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.

when she was just 6 months old. Following school years at Blackawton Primary and the KEVICCs Lara went at 18 to live and work in Vietnam, where she worked for a social enterprise, supporting schools and village potters.

On returning to the UK Lara lived in in London where she worked for 7 years for the British Council and Visiting Arts. Lara returned to Devon and lived in Kingswear and worked for the Dartington Hall Trust for 12 years as programmer and producer of live performance. In 2012 Lara returned to her roots and took on the day-to-day management of Coombe Farm Studios – Coombe is a small arts centre dedicated to growing creativity through the running of art and craft courses for locals and visitors, showcasing work in the onsite gallery and providing short residencies for performing artists making new work about climate change, migration and human rights.

Lara has been a Trustee of the Devon Guild of Craftsman and continues to sit on the board of the regional dance agency Dance in Devon. Lara now lives and works at Coombe full time, along with her husband Martin (a carpenter) their two daughters Sasha and Rosa (who attend Blackawton Primary) and Lara’s parents Paul & Tina Riley.
