Councillor

Kay Colwell

I moved to Easingwold in 1996 from York. Since that time, I have raised my daughters, Hattie and Freya, and have owned a number of properties in the town.

As a family we spent a few years in Scotland but I moved back in 2020 to care for my elderly mum, who now resides in Springhill Court. Both my daughters, Hattie and Freya, moved back to live with me in 2023.

Hattie is working locally for a family business in Husthwaite and Freya has opened her own beauty salon on Long Street. I work 4 days a week at Newby Hall near Ripon, as Finance Manager.

I was privileged to act as governor at Easingwold Primary School for 12 years and since my return to the area have been considering how to become more involved in the community.

I am delighted to have been offered the opportunity to work as part of an energetic and enthusiastic town council, committed to making the town the best it can possibly be. I very much hope that I can make a contribution to enhance the lives of everyone in the community.

As a family, we all feel blessed to be fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the country, and particularly in Easingwold
