I ran a business in Middleton for nearly fourteen years, and joined the Parish Council in September 2015. After my retirement I stayed on the Parish Council, as Middleton has been a big part of my life for over 60 years, even though I now live in Eggleston. I’ll continue to serve and help the people of Middleton and Newbiggin as well and for as long as I can.
