Liz Farnham

I have been a Councillor for over nine years; this is the fourth Council I have served on.

As mayor I sought to build stronger relationships with the community to ensure that Tetbury gets the services and facilities it deserves, for the benefit of the whole community. I lobbied Cotswold District Council to grant planning permission for the new purpose-built doctors’ surgery and affordable houses for Tetbury residents. I also worked with the Gloucestershire Association of Parish and Town Councils to improve working practices.

As a proactive member of the Finance and Scrutiny committee, I work hard to bring greater accountability, rigour and visibility to the Town Council’s spending plans to ensure that taxpayers’ money is spent wisely and in accordance with the rules and regulations.

Since moving to Tetbury over 27 years ago I have taken an active role in ‘Tetbury life’. I was a member of the marvellous Tetbury in Bloom team for many years; I am Chair of the Tetbury Film Society; and I regularly attend events in support of the town’s many groups and societies.
