The Parish Council comprises 9 Councillors as follows:
1. Cllr. Janet Dobson, 01949 829012, jdobso-npc@hotmail.com
Having travelled the world as the daughter of an Army Officer, then an army wife I settled in Newton with my two children nearly 20 years ago – and I have loved every minute of it. I have just reached retirement from my job as an Office Manager in an Infant School and I will be able to give more time to village matters.
I have seen the village grow from a small, safe patch to a much larger housing estate that has, at times, felt overwhelming. As a Parish Councillor I am keen to ensure all residents are represented and we work together to build a successful, cohesive community with great facilities for everyone to enjoy.

3. Cllr. Margaret Goulder, 01949 829088, Chairman, magsnpc@btinternet.com
I was born & brought up in Radcliffe on Trent but eventually left to pursue a nursing career. In 1999 I moved to Newton because I missed village life & think it should always be supported. This is also why I joined Shelford and Newton Parish Council in 2007.
As Newton changed and grew I was one of the councillors who pushed for Newton to have its own Council. This was to enable us to grow into a thriving community.
In 2004 I became a Director & chair of Trenchard Close Residents Co Ltd when the Directors of Annington Homes resigned.
I spent 18 years doing voluntary work for a couple of charities and also within the legal system supporting victims, witnesses and their relatives at Crown and Coroners courts.
At present I work part time which enables me to find the time to support projects within Newton.

6. Cllr. Sarah Shaw, 07944 432050, vice-Chairman, sarah.shaw_npc@hotmail.com
I have lived in Nottingham all my life, I moved to a new build house 6 years ago and really enjoyed the new community and quietness that Newton has to offer.
I decided to volunteer some of my time to the community by joining the Parish Council.
As Newton develops into a larger village I am keen to see that we help to communicate and deliver what will hopefully be a lovely village for us to all live.
7. Cllr Deborah Soloman, 07500 114700, dsoloman.npc@gmail.com
I have lived in this beautiful part of Nottinghamshire for over 25 years and have raised my family here.
I run a business specialising in IT training for geospatial users and I also work with Registered Providers looking after Children in Care.
Over the years I have seen various changes in Newton and as a member of the council I wish to make a positive influence on ensuring that Newton village remains a lovely place to live, with community spirit and good resources as it evolves into a larger village.
