Hi, I am Jason Smith, a newly appointed Parish Councillor for the Grange Park Parish.

I have lived in Grange Park for 21 years with my wife, two sons and Buddy our Cockapoo. Both our sons attended Woodland View Primary School in their younger years.

I recently retired, having worked in finance for all of my career. I am now in a position where I look forward to giving back to this great community.

I enjoy being outdoors, including cycling around the Northamptonshire countryside, photography, and walking in the country park with my dog.

Prior to becoming a councillor I have been involved with various community events, helping out with barbeques at the main events for several years, acting as Treasurer for the scout group for a couple of years, and more recently supporting the annual Ash Dash fun run at the summer event. I am looking forward to serving on the parish council for the years ahead.
