James Patchett
STOWMARKET TOWN COUNCILLOR
DISTRICT COUNCILLOR FOR STOW THORNEY
First elected in the May elections 2023 as a Stowmarket Town Councillor and a Mid Suffolk District Councillor.
James is the Armed Forces champion for Mid Suffolk District Council
He sits on the Audit and Standards committee, the Flood Risk Management Sub Committee and the Emergency Planning Committee.
‘With a background in the Armed Forces I have dedicated over 25 years of public service to our great nation. I have led teams both at home and abroad, often in quite challenging conditions. The military taught me to maximise potential, both with people and equipment, which makes me adept at doing a lot with very little resources. I find my current role as District Councillor for Mid Suffolk and Parish Councillor for the Town of Stowmarket to be deeply rewarding and insightful. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges our community here in Suffolk faces, as well as the insights needed to address them effectively.’
