I am now retired but spent the majority of my working life in residential property sales management and development for national house builders and also ran my own estate agency in Spain for several years. I also owned a property land appraisal business with major house builders as clients.

My wife Ruth and I moved to Boughton in April 2022 from Birdham, a village near Chichester in West Sussex to be closer to family and grandchildren following our joint retirement. We both have an active interest in the county and our local parish and with time on my hands I am delighted to be more involved with local matters and to represent the interests of residents in the Parish of Boughton.

I have also become a committed fan of Northampton Town Football Club and attend most matches! We are also members of the National Trust as well as Kingsthorpe Bowls Club.

A northern lass, originally from Lancashire but studied at The University of Leeds (so divided Roses loyalties).

I’ve lived in Paris and London but for the last 15 years have been living in, and loving, the quiet beauty of Boughton and the stunning countryside of Northamptonshire.

I spent 30 years in Retail Fashion Buying but am now retired, but my 2 children, husband and dog seem to be more demanding than running the Next Buying Office!

It’s now time for me to give back to the community, so I volunteer on both the Pocket Park and Village Hall committees, as well as working with the Prince’s Trust.

Cllr Tracey Redwood

• Police Liaison Representative (shared role with Cllr Karen Fletcher)

“Originally from Australia, I have four boys with my husband Stephen. We have lived in the area for 22 years and integrated into several communities. Since 2007, I have worked part time at the University of Northampton where I am currently an Associate Professor and lead for the Centre of Health Sciences and Services. Engaging all members of the age spectrum I secured National Lottery Funding to create the “Overstone Mums and Tots” group in 2012. Throughout my career at three UK universities, I have been fortunate to be involved and lead a variety of research projects including teenage Mums, children in care, young offenders, schools’ resilience, vulnerable families and public health innovations. I am currently a member of the UoN leadership team in the “Well Northants” project. I believe I have several transferable skills which would directly benefit our community”.

I have always appreciated the unique character and spirit of the village. Having recently joined the Parish Council, I want to give back to the neighbourhood that my family and I call home. I am particularly interested in the community centre, preserving our green spaces and improving road safety. I look forward to addressing local priorities and ensuring Boughton remains vibrant and welcoming.
