Liz Robinson

Liz Robinson was born into a local farming family, grew up in Beeson, and attended Stokenham Primary School and Kingsbridge Community College. After graduating from Plymouth University with a degree in Environmental Science she worked and travelled in the Philippines, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. On returning to the UK she did a PGCE in Primary teaching, then moved back home to help run the family campsite. Liz now manages the site, helps husband Nick with his building business, and looks after two teenage children, both now themselves at KCC. On the parish council Liz represents Beeson Village Green and Sustainable South Hams, and is Schools and Young People liaison.

Charles Rogers

Charles Rogers was born and educated in the Parish, leaving at the age of 18 to train as an engineer. He subsequently worked overseas in a variety of exotic locations before returning aged 35 to raise a family in the place he loves best. Charles has been Stokenham Cub and Scout Master, and a member of Totnes Canoe Club and Kingsbridge Rugby Club. He has his own building business and together with his wife Lynda runs Higher Beeson House B&B. A former chair of Parish Council, Charles is a Footpaths representative and Parish Drainage Warden.

Steve Taylor

Steve Taylor was born and bred in the South Hams and attended Stokenham Primary followed by Kingsbridge Community College. He lives in Stokenham with his wife and young family, where he runs his own building and property development company. With strong roots in the area, Steve is passionate about preserving the character of the South Hams while at the same time maintaining its ability to provide homes and jobs in a living community where the next generation can build their lives and futures. Joining the Parish Council felt like a natural way to play a part in helping shape the place where his family is growing up.

Gill Claydon

Gill Claydon, our long-suffering Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer, spent her early career in a solicitors’ office, which must have been ideal preparation for her current range of responsibilities: taking minutes of council meetings, council administration, and all official correspondence. Gill is the Parish Council’s only paid employee.
