Jim MacDonald
Role: Kewstoke Parish Council Chairman
​
I have lived in Kewstoke with my wife Ann and two daughters, Elizabeth & Emily for the last 28 years. We have a small family business in Worle. I have always had an interest in what goes on in our community and by being a member of the Parish Council it allows me in a small way to influence how the village progresses.
I have far too many interests for it to be healthy. I regularly play squash & golf & like working in my garden, but our family adventures on our sailing boat is my great passion

Mike Hardwick
Role: Kewstoke Parish Council Clerk
​
Along with my wife Karen, I moved to Sand Bay in October 2017 and since then we have gradually become more and more involved in the local community. I have taken early retirement, allowing me time to focus on the varied duties of the Parish Clerk and our new home here.
Living in the community I share many of the issues with local residents and have a real interest in ensuring this unique area is maintained in keeping with resident’s wishes.
My hobbies include Golf and D.I.Y and whilst I am no Rory Mcllroy I love the, often frustrating, challenges of Golf!
