District Councillor Jonathan Gray.

I was elected to Huntingdonshire District Council in June 2004, and in addition to Hail Weston I also represent the villages of Great Staughton, Stonely, Kimbolton, Tilbrook and Covington.

I am 35; and live in Tilbrook with my wife Gemma and our two young children.

Since leaving school I have been involved in the insurance business, and I am currently an underwriter for a Lloyd’s syndicate based in the City of London, specialising in protecting other insurance companies against catastrophic losses.

I became involved in politics in 2003, partly out of interest, but mostly because I am a great believer in the fact that if you think something should be improved, don’t just moan about it – get involved! I stood for the new seat of Kimbolton & Staughton in 2004 and in the course of campaigning I knocked on more than 85% of the doors in the Ward.

I have made a priority of attending Parish Council meetings, representing you fully on the District Council and keep you informed via regular leaflets of what is happening in the Ward. I am particularly pleased to have successfully lobbied for the construction of the cycleway between Hail Weston and St Neots in 2005. Built with supposedly ‘spare’ money, it shows something can be achieved if you keep pushing for it.

I intend to keep representing the people of Hail Weston in such a manner – please do feel free to contact me regarding any issues of concern.
