Responsibilities: Chair of the Staffing Committee and Complaints Committee member

Emma Hanson has been an engineer serving with the Royal Air Force since 1984. Whilst serving at Wittering, she moved to the village in 2003 and decided to make the village her base. Since taking up the role of PC She has stated: I have had a greater insight into what the village needs as well as wants. As a part of the planning committee I am able to assist with the decision making of developments of people's homes but ensure the core beauty and function of the village is maintained and I look forward to future challenges - due to work commitments, Emma has stepped back from planning committee work but still is an active member of all other aspects of councillor duties.

This was followed by 7 years in the Middle East before returning to the Cambridge area to marry Christine.

Keir has joined the Village Plan Working Party, the Finance Committee and is chairman of the Playing Field Improvements Committee "I have only just moved to Easton on the Hill but have been sent here by the Diocese of Peterborough to act as Curate within the benefice.  Part of this charge is to serve the community and all souls who reside within.  This is something I feel very passionate about and is part of my calling to ordained ministry.  I have some experience in village councils as I have been involved in the delivery of some council projects at previous villages in which I've lived. I have been a teacher for 20 years and am adjusting to my shift in career.  I am used to dealing with a wide range of people in my work as well as outside agencies such as local authorities and groups. I am used to engaging with people, working in teams and can help facilitate shifts of culture and thinking.  I am good at focussing on outcomes and efficient routes to the best desired outcome. I truly believe God has sent me to this place to work in and for the community however I can."
