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 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.

Originally from Manchester, Jerry joined the RAF and served 16 years as a weapons technician in posts both home and abroad. This was followed by 7 years in the Middle East before returning to the Cambridge area to marry Christine. He then worked for Network Rail as a signals technician before taking early retirement in 2016. He and Christine (Chrissie) looked to find somewhere away from the city life and decided on Easton on the Hill as a place to settle. They were both struck by the friendliness of the villagers and soon made many new friends. Chrissie is a member of the Horticultural and Crafts Society, both are members of the Bowls Club and Jerry has recently joined the widely acclaimed male voice choir “Harmony on the Hill” and is learning to ring the Church bells. He welcomed the opportunity to give something back to the Village by serving on the Parish Council.
