John Swan
Councillor for Ilfracombe Central Ward
As a past mayor, I now sit on the staffing group, meeting weekly to support and direct our staff in the new Ilfracombe Centre. I also sit on the Ilfracombe Regeneration Board, a steering group, focussing on the many initiatives designed to regenerate prosperity in the Town. Now retired from full time work as a director of Country Cousins and Channel School, Tricia and I continue to run a small holiday cottage letting business, but this leaves time to devote to community issues. As a community we are finally receiving the attention of major governmental organisations and I am keen to assist in the regeneration of the town. I have recently been elected to sit on the management committee of St Johns Ambulance, and look forward to supporting them and other community groups in the town.
