Parish Council: Councillor Mrs Ann Down

As a true Devonian I was born in Ashburton at the family farm which my father had lived in for all of 71 years. After leaving school I helped on the family farm before marrying my husband who I met at the local Young Farmers group.

I have a genuine interest in the countryside and have helped the village with certain activities thanks to Entrust (the Landfill Tax credit scheme) - the most exciting being the children's cycle track.

I consider it vital that the countryside is preserved for future generations and I think that it is important that everybody in a village has the opportunity to be heard and valued. As a Parish Councillor I hope that I am able to express other people's ideas and opinions in order to sustain and develop a true village community atmosphere.
