Martin Grove (Chairman)

I have lived at Bytham Farm all my life and have been on the Parish Council for around 12 years. Living where I do I consider that my contribution is twofold - I feel involved because I live in the Parish but since I live right on the boundary I can also be slightly more impartial than if I was in the heart of the village. I like to think too that my knowledge of rural affairs is important in the role of the Council.

Paul Rouse (Vice Chairman)

I’ve been resident in the village for 10 happy years. We are exceptionally lucky to live, work or go to school in such a special village and the Parish Council plays an important role in protecting much of the environment we are privileged to enjoy. It seemed appropriate to me to offer to join the council given my particular professional and personal interests in environmental issues and it is in these areas that I hope to be able to contribute to the work of the Council.

Keith Wallace

I have been a resident in the village since 1985, though having lived in the Swindon area for 25 years prior to our move to Ogbourne, the village was well known to my wife and me. In the last few years I have reduced my business commitments and charitable activities. I have just retired as Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the Prospect Hospice in Wroughton and as a member of the ProHelp Group in Swindon. This will give me more time to serve the community in my own village, which has given me so much pleasure over the last twenty years.

Paul Willis

I’ve lived in the village with Laura, Oliver and Tabby for 11 years and we love living here! Ours is a friendly and safe village that is a fantastic home for a young family and we are lucky to benefit from a thriving play group, and primary school, as well as a regular bus service and of course The Inn with the Well and Parklands. This is a small rural village in an area of outstanding natural beauty and it’s important to keep it that way; it’s equally important to protect access across the beautiful surrounding countryside, something that is easily taken for granted. The Parish Council has an important role to play in protecting and preserving the village and village life which is why I’m pleased to serve a second term on the Council.

Parish Clerk

Cliff Freeman

Jackie and I have lived in the village since 1977 and I was asked to be Clerk the following year.  During these years the village has moved with the times, some would say for the better, but losing shops, Post Office, filling station and garage, one may consider detrimental.  Our four children all attended the village school for which Jackie was an active member of the PTA and I served as a Governor for many years.  We feel it is a privilege to live in such idyllic surroundings and through my role as Clerk help to contribute to the effective
working of the Parish Council.
