MEet the new mayor of Chudleigh, Cllr Victoria Hadley.

For the last three years the town has been well-served by Cllr Martin Tinkler, who had the misfortune to spend most of his time in office under the cloud of a global pandemic.

Victoria only became a councillor in 2021 but has very quickly made her presence felt in a very positive way. She has been a solicitor for 22 years and is a partner in a nearby legal practice. The knowledge she has brought has been invaluable at a time when the council has needed legal advice on various issues.

Victoria has lived in and around Chudleigh for the past 15 years so she knows and understands the issues that confront the town very well.

She has in the past volunteered at Chudleigh School and the Church, and been involved in the corporate governance of Chudleigh Knighton pre-school. Victoria has volunteered in community projects and is keen to preserve the environment, and make Chudleigh a safe and pleasant place to live and work.
