Alex Patient – Parish Councillor since January 2021, Vice-Chair
 My family and I moved from London to Sutton-upon-Derwent in 2018. Wanting to contribute to the local community, I met a few of the other parishioners that made up a volunteer group to maintain the playground equipment.
Subsequently, I became aware of the Parish Council’s activities, and joined in January 2021. With two young daughters, I am particularly keen to chip in on matters that affect them: road safety and playground development being the two key areas of interest for me.
I have spent the last +20 years as various kinds of analyst, and currently lead the Performance Insight team at Natwest for the Commercial bank. I hope that helps me bring a level of experience to the Council when it comes to data collection and analysis (e.g. the Parish Survey), besides competence in writing briefs for funding support (we have successfully received National Lottery funding for the playground!).
In my spare time, I am commonly to be found with my children walking in the local area, grumbling on the village tennis courts, playing badminton in the Village Hall, or having a drink with other dads in the Vincent Arms. Feel free to give me a shout if there is some way the Parish Council can support you.
