Conservative Alicia Kearns has been elected as the new Member of Parliament for the Rutland and Melton constituency in the first December election held in over one hundred years. 

The win makes her only the third person to represent Rutland and Melton since 1983. 

Meet our Chair, a member of the association since 2011, a Rutland County Councillor with special responsibility for Highways, Transport, Culture and Leisure.

Meet Gordon Brown, yes that’s right, a member of the Conservative Party with that name and hailing from Scotland as well.

Meet Steve Evans who has been a member of the Association since 2017, having moved from Yorkshire to Oakham, prior to which he lived at Waltham on the Wolds for nearly 20 years.

After graduating from Nottingham University as a mature student, Anthea had a happy career working as a Geologist with the British Geological Survey in Nottingham.

Loving animals, Michael riding Wizard, a home bred, one of 6 horses, 3 dogs and 6 hens kept at home. Quite a menagerie, but means holidays are few and far between.
