Committee

  • Gill Stott

    Gill Stott

    Chair

    I'm Gill Stott — married into a family that have been part of the village for almost 80 years, mum to two grown-up children, and I've lived in Culcheth since 2004.

    I'm a fan of supporting the brilliant local businesses we're lucky to have in Culcheth and Glazebury. I first came here in the mid-1980s as a teenager with big hair, never imagining I'd one day call it home.

    My background is in HR, and those skills now help me support residents with a variety of concerns, including planning applications.

    As part of the Residents Association, I want to work for the best interests of Culcheth and Glazebury.

    Joy Cooper-Crippin

    Secretary

    Hi, I'm Joy Cooper Crippin. I moved to Warrington from Manchester in 1982, living in Cinnamon Brow before settling in Culcheth in 2005 — where my husband is proudly born and bred.

    I'm a mum of two and a proud grandma to four, and through them I've been lucky to see just how much the village has to offer, with all of them involved in local clubs over the years.

    My career has included roles in retail and administration, along with 26 years in local government. More recently, I worked with Miller Metcalfe, where I met so many lovely people — both those who live here and those wanting to move to Culcheth to raise their families.

    I've always felt so welcomed here, and I truly love being part of this community. I'd really like to give something back and help others feel just as at home as I did.

  • Marian Kay

    Marian Kay

    Treasurer

    Hello, I'm Marian and I'm a retired Civil Servant having worked primarily as a Customs Officer. I'm married to Mike and we have lived in Culcheth since 1994. I'm step-mum to two sons and a very proud grandmother of four who range in age from 24 to 3.

    I have a first class honours degree in Social Policy from the Open University and a Counselling diploma, and I volunteer as a bereavement counsellor with St Rocco's. My career as a Civil Servant and work with St Rocco's has taught me a lot about responsibility and the importance of supporting others.

    When we moved to Culcheth it had everything we were looking for — great facilities, a friendly feel, and easy access to both Manchester and Liverpool. Over the years, we've made many friends and Culcheth has become more than just a place to live; it's home in every sense of the word.

    I'd like the village to maintain those values and I'm confident that the Residents' Association can provide a platform for that.

  • Gayle Munroe

    Gayle Munroe

    Community Liaison

    My name is Gay. I was born in Culcheth in 1964 and have been a lifelong resident. I've brought up my four daughters here and now have seven grandchildren, four of whom go to the local schools and nursery.

    When I left school I worked at Newchurch Hospital in the annex, then I worked in the CPS centre on and off for more than twenty years, and then at Victoria Wine on Lodge Drive until my grandchildren were born and I looked after them.

    I joined the Residents Association because I want Culcheth and Glazebury to remain a community, and to listen to villagers' concerns and try to act on them. You might have seen me out litter picking, which I do as a resident.

    I feel so lucky to have lived here all my life and I can't imagine living anywhere else.

  • Gordon Stirling

    Gordon Stirling

    Community Liaison

    I have lived in Glazebury for 11 years and am passionate about preserving our village identities and maintaining the distinctive character within our communities.

    Working in the service industry for over 30 years has given me a blend of strong interpersonal skills and adaptability to deliver positive outcomes.

    I have consistently been involved in local planning and traffic concerns and will continue to raise awareness of the issues that effect our community through the Residents Association.

    While progress is inevitable it should not be just a physical expansion contributing to the detriment of the community.

    My priority is to ensure that our villages remain a safe and vibrant place to live, and wonderful location to raise a family.
