I have lived in Raunds for over 18 years, having moved my business and family here from Solihull in the West Midlands, and am very happy and proud to be an active resident.

I was, and remain, heavily involved in the Raunds Vision Project and co-founded the Raunds Business Forum, as I believe that when a community works together they can achieve great things and make a real difference to the place they live and work – an ethos I promote as a member of the Council.

I was Deputy Mayor from 2018 to 2021, a position to which I was re-elected in 2022, and have been Chairman of the ELR (Environment Leisure and Recreation) Committee and a Member of numerous Working Parties.

As Deputy Mayor I am an ex-officio member of the following Committees: -

Environment, Leisure and Recreation Committee

Events Committee

Finance Committee

Planning Committee

Personnel Committee

I continue to be an active member of multiple working parties.

Away from Raunds Town Council, I was a District Councillor at East Northamptonshire Council until 2021, was elected on to the North Northamptonshire Unitary Council in 2021, and am Chairman of the Corby and East Northamptonshire Conservative Association.

Cllr Lee Robert Charles Wilkes
