via clerk.

Keith’s family in Drayton goes back to the early 1900’s when his Great Grandfather, Horace Sepping, a Norwich boot and shoe manufacturer employing a staff of 100 began buying property in Drayton. Keith was born in one of these houses in Costessey Lane.

Keith’s father Horace (Terry) was an Aircraft Fitter in the Second World War. He started a garage business in November 1947 at Fakenham Rd, Drayton where Keith and his son still carry on the business. Keith obtained a City and Guilds as a motor mechanic at Norwich City College and became a part-time adult education instructor at the Blyth Jex School as well as joining the business.

Keith has been a Parish Councillor since 2003 and serves on the Environment and Highways committee.

Keith’s interests are his job, clocks and classic cars and he likes to help people wherever he can.

Angie Taylor

Councillor

Committee member for:

Environment & Highways

I had been attending Drayton’s Parish Council meetings for approximately 3 years, initially it was as a result of Carter Road traffic issues but before long I had realised I was interested in the full breadth of the monthly agendas, which were being discussed and tried to attend meetings whenever

I could. It therefore seemed logical to become a Councillor myself.

As a dog walker, I probably see most of Drayton in any given week and this provides me with an ideal way to meet and talk with parishioners as well as an opportunity for identifying any possible enhancements which might be made, for the benefit of our community.

I have become a Drayton parish councillor to help with community work and get to know others.

I have lived in Drayton for 14 years previously lived in Spixworth for 19 years. I have a long marriage of 35 years with no children. I am self employed working for home for 20 years.

Karen Wilson

Committee member for:

Governance, Staffing

01603 920097

I was very pleased to be co-opted onto Drayton Parish Council back in 2017 and want to help advocate for our Parishioners to see Drayton continue to thrive and flourish.

Having spent all of my adult life in Norfolk, I am passionate about the area, its history and its preservation. Day to day I also work in the Social Care setting and have done so for over 10 years (within Drayton as well as surrounding areas). So I understand the concerns and difficulties that can face residents every day.
