I am an experienced councillor and was elected as Town Councillor for Irthlingborough in 2007 and for East Northants Council in the same year, and have served on various committees.
I am keen to see Adult Social Care and Children’s Services upgraded in the new Unitary Council along with increased protection for the county’s Nature Reserves, including Irthlingborough Lakes & Meadows. Additional Special Needs Schools are also a priority along with an increased provision for Heritage Centres throughout the county. Funding the redevelopment of the county’s High Streets is a passion of mine.

Pauline has lived in Irthlingborough for nearly 35 years and has worked in all three schools in the town - Infants, Juniors and Huxlow where she was also on the ‘Friends of Huxlow’ Committee. Prior to this Pauline was active as Treasurer of Humpty Dumpty’s Playgroup for many years.
Married with two daughters who both went to school in the town and, albeit now grown up, they still live in the county, Pauline has a strong association of being involved in the Irthlingborough Community. Now a Director and Company Secretary in the family business based in Little Addington, she is keen to be actively involved in the community to improve local facilities and opportunities for all who live in the town.

Having lived in Irthlingborough his whole life and gone through the Irthlingborough school system Ethan has always had a passion for our community and public service. This started with volunteering at Irthlingborough Library during his time at Huxlow during which time he also represented the school as Deputy Head Boy.
Ethan carried on his involvement in the local community when he worked with a number of local residents to establish Irthlingborough Youth Club where he still serves as a trustee.
Irthlingborough Youth Club provides young people with a safe place to relax and meet friends. The positive impact of the club was recognised by the Northamptonshire Association of Youth Clubs when we were awarded the ‘Best New Youth Club of the Year Award’ in 2019.
This sparked Ethan’s interest in working in the charitable sector, first working in Community Fundraising for a palliative care provider in Bedfordshire and now responsible for establishing the fundraising offering for a small learning disability charity in Milton Keynes.
Ethan is also working with the Young Trustee Movement to promote the useful insight that young people can bring to boards of trustees.

Originally from Bedford I've lived in the John Pyell Ward for 20 years now, since marrying my Irthingborough born husband. I'm very interested in education and have been a school governor here and in Rushden for seven years. As a family we've always been involved in the local community in some way, my husband spent many Saturday afternoons supporting Rushden and Diamonds and my son has attended our local schools and clubs. I believe having opportunities for our children and young people to find an interest that will focus and inspire them can have real benefits for their future. Having previously owned a business on the High Street I'm committed to supporting our local traders in creating a town environment that draws local people of all ages to it and helping to make it the hub of our community. Ethan is also working with the Young Trustee Movement to promote the useful insight that young people can bring to boards of trustees.
