Councillors

Hellaby Parish Council has adopted a Code of Conduct each parish Councillor has signed a declaration to abide by.

David Latimer

For those of you who don’t know me my name is David Latimer. I have lived in Hellaby close to 40 years, initially on Barrie Grove and latterly on Kevin Grove. Like my wife Maggie you may have seen me, or both of us walking our dog Leo round the fields or estate.

Prior to my retirement I was in education for nearly 40 years working as a Teacher, Advisory Teacher for IT, a Deputy Head and a short spell as Acting Head.

I like to keep myself active and busy, usually walking in the Peak District once a week, looking after my garden, volunteering as a litter picker once a month, working at Wickersley library 2 mornings a week delivering an IT course and looking after our grandchildren,

I have taken on the role as Parish Councillor as I am passionate and committed about our community and the people who live here and wish to do the best I can for all concerned within our village.

Vacancy

Maggie Latimer

I became a Parish Councillor JUST before lockdown and have strong ties with the area as I have lived on the estate since the early eighties, initially on Barrie Grove (18 years) and now on Kevin Grove (21years) As you can imagine we love this area and the countryside around us and are keen to do as much as possible to protect it.

It was really heartening to see how the community came together during lockdown and how people supported one another. This is what makes Hellaby a special place to live.

I spent almost 40 years of my life in Education, for half of that time as a local Primary school teacher, then from 1998 as Deputy Head and ultimately as Head of another local Primary school. I retired in 2016 and am now trying to catch up on some of the creative things I love, but didn’t have time to do.

I also enjoy taking care of and having fun with our four Grandchildren and am a Governor of a local Primary School.

Janet Law

As a new Hellaby Councillor, I would like to take this opportunity to write a little about myself.

I was born at 96 Bateman Road around the time when the estate was near to completion. Hellaby is a lovely village.

In 1976 I moved to Maltby with my young family.

My Mum still lived here in Hellaby, so I was coming to the village every day calling in on my way up to look after my horses on Cumwell Lane.

In January 2012 I moved back to Hellaby and in May 2015 became a Maltby Town Councillor. I was there up to August 2020 when a place became available on Hellaby Parish Council. I was honoured to accept and I hope that I can do my best for the village now and for future generations.

Register of interests

As a fairly new Parish Councillor, I'd like to introduce myself.

I'm Bob, I have lived in Hellaby for 10 years with my wife Mary. I am the son of a Scottish WW2 Lancaster Bomber Flyer and a Yorkshire lady. I was born in the Highlands and raised in Bramley.

After a good education at Maltby Grammar School I worked in a steelworks chemistry lab before leaving to work in the construction industry for 50 years, mainly running my own company. I spent 8 years of the 1990s working in East Germany (AUF Weidersehen Pet) and eventually retired to Hellaby.

I am chair of the Community group, where I help organise social events. I run the Hellaby Litter Picking Group and help out in the Hellaby Gardening Group. I am the voluntary snow warden for Parkstone cresent. Also, I help my wife Mary with the coffee mornings that she runs fortnightly.

I have joined the Parish Council relatively recently and hope to continue with the interesting work.
