New Councillor: David Kiernan

David Kiernan

The Parish Council was pleased to co-opt David Kiernan onto the Council on 5 November 2025.

David has known Leek Wootton since his childhood, attending the village school, before moving away in his 20s. He returned to his family home in c.2021.

He says, "Leek Wootton has always been home to me — it’s where I grew up, went to school, and where my family roots are. After returning to the village, I feel a strong desire to give something back to the community that has given me so much over the years ...

"I’m passionate about maintaining the character of the village while supporting sensible development and community initiatives that benefit residents of all ages."

The Parish Council welcomes David and looks forward to working with him.

The Parish Council has two remaining vacancies. If you would like to know more about being a Parish Councillor, please see the Becoming a Parish Councillor page and/or contact The Clerk for an Application Pack

New Councillor: Jonathan Kingston

The Parish Council co-opted Jonathan Kingston at its meeting on 5 July 2022.

Jonathan has lived in Leek Wootton for over 20 years and has been involved in many projects within the community; his is a familiar face to many from his work pounding the streets to sell raffle tickets for the Church and Members of the Parish Council have already worked closely with him on the Parish Summer Fetes since 2016.

There were two candidates for the vacancy, which was triggered by the resignation of Joy Maisey in late 2021, and the co-option of Cllr Kingston means the Council now has a full compliment of 8 councillors again.

The Parish Council looks forward to working with Cllr Kingston.
