Wiltshire Councillor Dominic Muns

Dominic Muns
 I grew up in Marlborough before moving to West Lavington (via Málaga and then Ibiza!) with my family four years ago. I was drawn to our beautiful surroundings and the open countryside; it really is a fantastic place to raise our two children. As well as standing as the elected Unitary Councillor for The Lavingtons I am also Portfolio Holder for Education and Chairman of Lavington Pre-School.
For me, the issues of education, planning and roads are key to the happy enjoyment of our villages, however, I am also keen to support the fight against rural crime, the protection of our beautiful countryside and our local businesses, particularly given the impact of Covid-19. We need to stand together to protect the villages we call home and that is what drove me towards local politics.

Having been born and brought up in Devizes, I moved to Easterton with my wife in 2011 having built our own home in Oak Lane. I work locally as a rural practice chartered surveyor and specialise in rural estate management and the valuation of various property types.

I was invited to join the Parish Council shortly after moving to the village in 2012 and in 2013 I was appointed as Vice Chairman. Some of my fondest and most noticeable achievements during my time on the Parish Council include obtaining lottery funding and managing the upgrade of the village play area and the introduction of the village defibrillator.  I thoroughly enjoy being part of the Parish Council and I am proud to play a small part in serving the community.

I can often be seen, walking, running or cycling through the village and surrounding countryside with my wife, Lorna and our children Enid and Thomas, so please feel free to stop us for a chat.

I have lived in Easterton Sands for over 28 years now and can’t think of a better place to be ensconced.  I am a professional sculptor and have had major commissions with corporate and private clients, both abroad and here in UK.  Born on my parents’ farm in Pembrokeshire, I went to school in Oxford and gained a BA Hons. in Ceramics and 3D Design and a MA in Industrial Ceramics and Management.

I have worked in the ceramic industry, as a designer, before changing tack and launching myself as a professional sculptor, working mainly in bronze.
Home is now here in Easterton Sands, where my heart is and the more I see and hear in this area, the more I wish to contribute to its community.  Hence, as I don’t travel as much now, I can dedicate more time to the village and my passion about nature, the environment and renewable energy.

Chair

Having lived in Easterton for over 15 years, benefiting from the community and its surrounds, I was very happy to be co-opted on to the Parish Council in May 2020, when a vacancy arose. As elections are unable to happen until next March at the earliest, I was keen to support the Parish Council in these difficult times, until the full election process can be resumed. I am proud to be able to assist our local community in this manner.

I am a Civil Servant, employed in rural estate and environmental land management and hope that this can add value to the Parish Council and the local environment. I, like the rest of the Councillors, am open to approach on any issues in which the community would like the Parish Council to engage.

Having had the privilege to live in Easterton since 1973, I wanted to give back something to the village I love, so when an opportunity arose to join the Parish Council in May 2019, I jumped at the chance. My roles are to look after the salt bins, help to keep the footpaths, bridlepaths and other rights of way as they should. I help with keeping parishioners in touch with the Parish Council by assisting with the boomCast communication system. I am very approachable and welcome helping anyone who needs help settling into this wonderful village.

I’ve lived in Eastcott since 2014 having moved here soon after starting work at Wadworth.

You’ll see me and Harley walking around the village paths & by-ways most days. I joined the Parish Council to bring Full Fibre to our community. As more of our world moves online I don’t believe us, our children or grandchildren should be left behind simply because we are in the 5% of the UK not covered by the National Rollout.

I look forward to supporting the Parish Council and the delivery of Full Fibre to our community.

My family and I moved from Fife Scotland in May 1982 having had the responsibility for the business in Scotland and Northeast working for Warner Lambert Pharmaceuticals, I was invited to further my career by moving south to the Companies Head Office located in Eastleigh Hampshire.

After a rather intensive house-hunting search mainly in the Southern part of Wiltshire my wife and I had the good fortune to find a suitable property for our family in the beautiful village of Easterton. I retired from working for Pfizer in 2003 and a few years later my wife retired from teaching at the local Comprehensive.

Although my wife and family are not originally from Wiltshire but from the north of England, we have been residents in Wiltshire for the majority of our lives and feel fortunate to do so enjoying the spectacular countryside of Wiltshire, and in particular here in Easterton.

Recently I retired from the demands of leading a large voluntary organisation a position for which I had the pleasure to hold for eight years, although still a member, my retirement allows me more freedom of my time to become a member of the Parish Council and to be part of a dedicated team assisting in providing benefit to our village of Easterton.

One of many areas I am particularly interested in is the preservation of the diverse ecology we enjoy within our Village.
