From Suzanne Bartington’s facebook page and her page on Witney Town Council’s website, 7 May 2017.

“I grew up in West Oxfordshire, attending Charlbury Primary School, Burford Secondary School and completing A-level studies at Abingdon and Witney College. I have lived in Witney for the past decade, after completing medical training at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge and postgraduate training at Imperial College London. In my professional career I have worked in NHS hospital medicine and General Practice and am completing training to become a Public Health Consultant. I have a commitment to national and international health policy, with current research projects in Nepal and China.

Since my election as a Town Councillor in Witney East Ward in May 2015, I have engaged with residents to identify priority issues and tackle strategic challenges. My policy interests include the provision of high quality and accessible health and social care services and I am a committed advocate for sustainable development and active travel.

I am an active volunteer for Cogges Heritage Trust, and co-opted Member of Madley Park Residents’ Association. In my leisure time I enjoy outdoor pursuits including hiking and mountaineering.”

Suzanne was elected as County Councillor for Witney North & East Division on 4 May 2017.

Edited from Larry Sanders’ page on Wikipedia, 8 May 2017

Larry Sanders was born in Brooklyn, New York. He attended Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, received his J.D. degree from Harvard Law School and obtained a master’s degree in social work from the University of Oxford. He moved to the UK in 1968/69. He became a university lecturer at the University of West London, then at Oxford in the department of social administration.

Sanders was active in the Labour Party in Oxford in the 1980s but left to join the Green Party. First elected in 2005, he was a Green Party county councillor representing the East Oxford division until he retired from the Council in 2013.

His main focuses in county politics were social and health care services; he held positions on several Boards and Trusts. He resigned from the board of the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust in October 2005. In 2009 he became chairman of the Oxford Community School’s Board of Governors.

Sanders ran as a Green Party candidate for Oxford West and Abingdon in the 2015 general election and came in fifth place. In February 2016 he was appointed Health Spokesperson of the Green Party of England and Wales. He was selected as the Green Party candidate for the Witney by-election following David Cameron’s resignation, coming fourth in the poll. He is now standing for Oxford East in the 2017 general election.
