Fran Box

Positions and responsibilities: Grand Western Canal Joint Advisory Group

About me: I moved to Westleigh in 2014 with my dutch husband Jan to start our small holding with our cows, pigs, goats, chickens and Jip our dog. I also established my company Agriton in Westleigh, which continues to promote sustainability in agriculture and environmental projects across the UK.

Westleigh is a great village and we have made good friends. Community power is a great source of local festivity and joining the parish council is a good way to represent my neighbours.

Many years ago I trained as a nurse in London and, following a holiday romance, I moved to the Netherlands, married and had three children.

My hobbies include, walking, cooking, gardening, bee keeping, singing and visits to the pub.
