Jean Dent

Bill and Jean have lived in Saltash for more than 30 years and both of our children attended primary and secondary schools in Saltash. She was a primary school teacher for many years (mostly across the water in England!) until taking early retirement in 2005.

Since joining the Town Council in November 2012 as a member for West Ward, Jean has been Deputy Mayor and Mayor twice in recent years. At present she is chairing the Library Committee, pushing forward the devolution of Saltash Library from Cornwall Council and also of the Property Committee looking after the properties owned by Saltash Town Council. She is a member of the Personnel Committee, The Saltash Neighbourhood Plan and Station Working Parties

Jean is the representative of Saltash Town Council on Saltash Heritage, Age UK and the Mabbott Trust.
Outside the Council Jean is a member of The Royal British Legion and The Royal Naval Association.
Jean would like to give something back by supporting the community of the vibrant and forward-looking town that is Saltash.
