Roger Webb - Further Information

I have lived in Crawley Down for 42 years and I have always taken an active interest in the village and village life to which end I was –

  • A scout leader for around 10 years.
  • Allotment Association Treasurer for another 15 years.
Currently
  • I am the Royal British Legion Branch Treasurer and Poppy Area Organiser, posts that I have held for over 15 years.
  • For the last 4 years I have been running a charity bookstall on the forecourt of the Crawley Down village shops mainly for the local branch of the RBL.
  • I am the Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator for my road, and a member of the Three Villages Police Neighbourhood Panel (Copthorne, Crawley Down and Turners Hill).
  • I have recently formed an Association to re-site, restore or replace the Roll of Honour that came from the Methodist Chapel around 30 years ago, and to research and publish the lives of the names thereon.
I worked for British Gas for most of my working life leaving several years ago as a Senior Manager, after which I spent a two years contracting as an IT Consultant and then took a post in Millais School in Horsham in their Technology Department. Now fully retired I have even more time to become more involved in village life and see the Parish Council as an opportunity to use some of my past experience for the wider good.

Graham Casella - Further Information

I moved to Copthorne in 1988, and have lived here ever since. I am married with three adult sons all of whom grew up in the village and went to the excellent village schools.


I run my own business as a self employed Financial Facilitator and have worked in the financial and insurance industry all my working life, which helps to give me an insight into the financial workings of the Council. Being self employed also gives me the flexibility needed to enable me to spend time on Council matters.

In the past I have served for a number of years as a parent governor of the village Junior School, and have currently sat as a member of Worth Parish Council for 6 years.

The big event in Copthorne each year is the Carnival, and it has been my honour to be chairman of the organising committee for a number of years during which we have expanded the event to provide a host of entertainment, and have enabled many village organisations to raise much needed funds every year. I also work on the committee of the Village Social Club, to help maintain another important village institution.

I have lived in Copthorne with my wife for over 25 years and can unashamedly say that I love this village.


I have enjoyed a wide-ranging business career and am now Managing Director of a specialist, national cleaning business based in Copthorne as well as being part owner of our local taxi firm.

I am a member of the Copthorne Village Golf Club and enjoy playing golf and the ‘socialising’ that goes with it. I enjoy our village lifestyle and supporting our local community and economy wherever possible. A keen darts and football fan, I try and attend as many events and matches that I can fit into my schedule.
