Councillor James Patchett

James has lived in Suffolk for nearly 25 years and is an active environmentalist who likes to be as self-sufficient as possible. James will often be found in the river Gipping clearing out rubbish and debris. He is a father of two and wants to make the world a better place for his children and everyone. Passionate about sustainable transport he has given a number of talks in Suffolk about Electric Vehicles. He was in the Armed Forces for 22 years which has given him a set of values and standards that he will always keep close.

“ I will campaign for better use of Stowmarket’s existing green spaces and make sure that they are retained and maintained properly.  Stowmarket is a nice place to live, let’s keep it that way”
