Councillor Neil Barrington-Johnson
Neil moved to Langton Green with his wife and two sons in 2002. When he retired in 2013, he wanted to contribute to the community he enjoys living in, and joined the Langton Green Village Society Committee. This was followed shortly by responding to a co-option request for Speldhurst Parish Council and he joined the Council in May 2014.
He had 9 very enjoyable (and sometimes challenging) years on SPC, six of them as Chair (six because my five-year term expired in 2020 and as this was in the depths of Covid our 5-year limit was waived as a practicality).
After stepping down from the Council, Neil took a short break but remained committed to supporting the local community. With a number of councillor vacancies, he was pleased to return to Speldhurst Parish Council and is currently servicing as Temporary Chair.
