Parish Councillors

Councillor Angela Teague (Chair)
Ang moved to Mileham in 2017 with her family, which has grown since then. Ang works full-time from home for a charity supporting young people, and previously spent 31 years working for the NHS, both in hospital and community-based projects, with children at the heart of all.
Ang joined the Parish Council in 2020; she wanted to try to support others in finding solutions to some areas she was concerned about, one being speeding motorists in Mileham. Ang likes to keep busy and has a love of animals and volunteers for a Cypriot Dog Rescue, the family have various pets and animals to keep them all busy.
Ang loves living in Mileham, a village she feels offers her family a safe, healthy environment. Being part of the Parish Council has offered Ang the opportunity to truly get to know not only the village but also many residents, which has been an added bonus.

Councillor John Powell
John and family moved to Mileham in 2017. Before retirement John’s varied career took him from working in the City of London with ECGD and then various roles within the judicial system. Having previously volunteered for a children’s charity he is an enthusiastic advocate for young people.
John now splits his time between dog walking and target shooting, where he is the Secretary of a local club. A sports obsessive, he is also interested in Military history, especially the South African Campaigns of the 1800’s. Originally a ‘press-ganged’ gardener who now really enjoys it.

Kelsey has lived in Mileham since 2014, when she bought her first home with her husband, Josh. Her husband has had family links to the village for many years, and both wanted to settle into a peaceful village way of life. Kelsey’s family unit has grown since then to include two boys, a dog and a cat!
Kelsey is a primary school teacher and is interested in developing the amenities for children of Mileham as well as other villagers. She is also a trustee on two other Mileham charities to help support the village in a variety of ways.
