Biography:

Councillor Peter Tattersley has been a Member of Braintree District Council since 2011. He retired from local government service in 2006 but felt he could use his experience and knowledge in a more political context, and was first elected to serve the Panfield Ward, later to become the Three Fields Ward, covering the Parishes of Great Bardfield, Finchingfield, Wethersfield, Panfield and Shalford. He is a passionate supporter of the role of Parish Councils.

 

Councillor Tattersley was appointed as Deputy Cabinet Member for Health and Communities on his election and became the Cabinet Member for Health and Communities in July 2016 and subsequently the Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing following the Council elections in 2019.   Councillor Tattersley is also the Braintree Co-opted Member to the Essex Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (HOPSC).
