Councillor Anna Appleyard

Chair of East Donyland Parish Council
Member of the Finance & Personnel Committee

Like many before me, I was charmed by the riverside aspect of Rowhedge and the surrounding countryside and so in 2010 I moved here. I live with my husband and two school-age children. I am passionate about enhancing the enjoyment of this beautiful village for all those who wish to share it. I have over 20 years of experience in education as manager of a Nursery in Sydney, Australia and as a Primary School Teacher in London & Colchester. I have a keen interest in the environment and also in Community.

Councillor Julian Brett

Vice Chair of East Donyland Parish Council
Chair of the Maintenance Committee

I moved to Rowhedge to live with my partner in around 2005 firstly living in Parkfield Street then moving to Rectory Road. I am aware of local issues and I am actively social and know many local characters.

I have an engineering background and I am a keen sailor and participate in many waterbourne activities. I’m keen to promote the heritage of Rowhedge and use of the river.

A successful and rewarding community, for me, means working together and sharing skills, to make things better for everyone.

Councillor Maxiene Cartwright

Member of the Finance & Personnel Committee

I moved to the village 2 years ago & my only regret is that I didn’t move here sooner. I’m an equality officer amongst other roles for a trade union. I’m also the financial secretary of the Colchester Sea Cadets. I enjoy arts, crafts & gardening & I’m probably best known in the village for hiding painted stones. I love the community feel of the village & im looking forward to continuing to build this
