Councillor Lisa Navesey

Committee Membership : Business & Commerce Committee; Environment Committee; Events, Promotions & Grants Committee; Planning Committee; Resources Committee. Biography : I am a passionate advocate for the local community, dedicated to making a positive impact on the place I have called home for over 53 years. As a resident of Shaw, I have witnessed the decline in the village first hand and it has made it my mission to revitalise and restore its former glory.

Family is the centre of my life, a devoted wife and a loving parent to three children, I take great joy in being a proud grandmother to five grandchildren.
Over the past two years, I have emerged as a vocal advocate for the residents of Shaw and Crompton. Recognising the issues and challenges faced by the community, I have actively assisted fellow residents and addressed their concerns. Now a Parish Counsellor, I can continue my advocacy work on a broader scale. Collaborating with fellow counsellors, I aim to breathe new life into the town, fostering a sense of pride and improving conditions for both residents and local businesses.
I thoroughly enjoy meeting and engaging with residents, as I believe in the power of personal connection and understanding their needs. Through active listening and a compassionate approach, I strive to provide the best support and solutions to those who seek assistance.
When not immersed in community work, I enjoy socialising with family and friends. Additionally, I have a profound love for dogs and a passion for exploring the world extending to holidays abroad, particularly enjoying cruising as a way to unwind and discover new places.
Through my tireless efforts, I hope to restore Shaw to its former vibrancy, fostering a thriving community for generations to come.
Elected : May 2023

Biography : I consider myself to be a dedicated individual with a passion for community work and a strong commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others. Born and raised in Shaw, I am a loving spouse, devoted parent and proud grandparent.

With a fulfilling family life, I cherish the joy of being married and share the happiness of having three wonderful children and five adorable grandchildren. Family has always been a cornerstone in my life and they provide the motivation and support.
Professionally, I am a highly qualified and experienced individual in the construction industry, holding a prestigious Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) certification. With expertise as both a skilled bricklayer and a supervisor, I have played a vital role in overseeing projects and ensuring their successful completion. Attention to detail, strong leadership skills, and a deep understanding of the construction process have earned me a respected reputation among peers.
Beyond the construction site, my true passion lies in community work and advocacy. Known for going above and beyond to help residents resolve issues, my dedication to improving the quality of life for others has been widely recognised. In pursuit of this passion, I have taken on the role of a Parish Councillor, leveraging this platform to advocate for community needs and champion the rights and concerns of local residents.
In my personal life, a few hobbies bring joy and fulfilment. Traveling abroad is one of my favourite pastimes, as it provides an opportunity to explore different cultures and create lasting memories. Additionally, caravanning offers a chance to appreciate the beauty of nature while enjoying quality time with loved ones. Rugby holds a special place in my heart, having actively played for the local team Shaw Rhinos, in thrilling matches that showcased my determination, teamwork and competitive spirit.
