Your Councillors

A Councillors' role

Councillors are elected to represent an individual geographical unit on the council, known as a ward or – mainly in smaller parishes – the entire parish or town council area. They are generally elected by the public every four years.

Register Of Interests

All members, co-opted members of district, and parish councils must complete a register of interests form to register their financial and other interests.

These can be be found under each individual Councillor's name.

Christopher Paul Grose

Chairman

I have been on the parish council for over 33 years. I joined as a young man to do my bit for the parish I love. My main aim is to represent you and work for the best interests of the parish. I have always contributed positively and I have learned how the council can work effectively. This experience is important and I have helped guide the council as chairman for over eight years. I am a Gorran man and my family have been here for many hundreds of years. I am standing again to continue to represent the parish that is so dear to me. New faces are very welcome and a balance is always best. I will support and guide the new councillors as a mature and experienced councillor.

Mick Ayres

Councillor

I have been a Parish Councillor for approximately 18 years. I have lived in the Parish for 23 years, after holidaying here for many years prior to this. I fell in love with Gorran Haven the first time I came here and remain so. I care very much about preserving the way of life here, whilst being in favour of sympathetic progress. I am the manager of the local football team and have been for at least 15 years. I’ve been part of the Annual Beach Cleaning Scheme from day one, and I also put out the waste bins and seats etc each season.

Talan Blamey

Councillor

I have lived in Gorran Haven all my life and would love for many young people to have the same opportunities as I have had; to grow up in a beautiful village with a closely knit, caring community. As well as representing the younger members of the parish, I want to show respect for and help protect local customs, traditions and values, as I come from an old Cornish family with my Grandfather Henry being Captain of Caerhays & Gorran Bell Towers for many years and roots that we can trace back to Veryan in the 1500’s. I work at Cakebreads in the shop and behind the bar, and from there I get to meet and interact with many local residents.

Lisa Dunne

Councillor

I joined the parish council in 2013, serving as vice chair for 7 years giving me valuable experience. I am the third generation of the Tregaskes family to farm at Galowras in the parish of St. Goran and have a wealth of local knowledge. My academic background is in agricultural science and I teach biology. I have a passion for conservation and sustainable food production. I am an active member of the Carvinick working group which has secured the future of our only county farm and delivered land for community use. I am on the Neighbourhood Development Plan steering group, because I believe that development in the parish must be guided by local knowledge, need and aspirations. Community engagement with these projects has highlighted positive opportunities for all age groups. If elected I will continue to work hard as a councillor and do my best to serve the community.

Richard Enos

Councillor

Chris Lobb

The Council

I was born in St Ewe Parish but went to school at Gorran so I am almost local. I retired a few years ago from a career involving all types of building projects and currently run the local car park with my sister. I love the area, especially the sea, swimming, scuba diving and anything to do with boats. I often walk some of our many footpaths, a few years ago I was sponsored to walk them all to raise funds for our defibrillators. I work on many committees including the Parish Council and am actively involved with the CLT kitchen extension and the 999 Climate Emergency Event.

Darren Male

Councillor

My family live in Gorran Haven and over the years I've been increasingly involved, helping the school PTA, assisting the playing fields committee, maintaining Mariella's wood, and work as a charity trustee developing the Carvinick community land. Retired from a career in software engineering, I am now a beekeeper with apiaries around the parish, and manage the hives at Heligan. I care about our parish, the environment, and supporting healthier, more connected lives.

Alex Smith

Councillor

My grandparents moved to the village in 1988 from Lostwithiel. My aunt attended Gorran School, and I was born at Treliske but grew up right here in the village. I was lucky enough to attend both Gorran School and The Roseland. As a Parish Councillor, my goal is to represent everyone in our community and to stand up for the best interests of our parish.
