Councillors
Ruth Groome
I represent Burton Latimer on Kettering Borough Council, and am currently Mayor of Kettering.
In Burton Latimer I serve on the Committees of BLAST (Burton Latimer Anti-Social Behaviour Team), Burton Latimer United Education Foundation, Burton Latimer Ancient Parish Charity, the Farmers' Market Committee, the Ise Valley Protection Group, Burton Latimer Ex-Servicemen's Associaton and Burton Latimer Heritage Society.
I am a Past President of the the Ise Valley Rotary Club and have recently retired as a Governor of Isham Church of England Voluntary Aided School with special responsibility for Religious Education.
My professional background is as a Business Librarian and I worked for a large insurance company in Peterborough, but took voluntary redundancy to care for my three children and concentrate on my community work.
I am particulary looking forward to the regeneration of Burton Latimer's Town Centre, and feel passionately that with the expansion plans, infrastructure should be in place before houses, and buildings will be of good design with plenty of green open spaces.
