The Parish Council comprises 9 Councillors as follows:
1.Cllr. Margaret Goulder, 01949 829088, 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.
2. Cllr. Emily Holden, 07518 360375, emilyspedding@googlemail.com
I have lived in Newton for over 13 years. I was a primary school teacher for over 10 years , but am currently a full time mum for my two young boys. I plan to go back to teaching in September 2026. I would like to help maintain or improve our lovely community – our home.
3. Cllr. Daniel O’Connor, 07803 309533, danieloc0580@gmail.com
I have lived in Newton for 2 years with my partner and son. In my professional life I am a Scientist at a company that makes software for the pharmaceutical industry. We love living in Newton and welcome the opportunity to contribute towards decision making to benefit the community and to help our village develop but also preserve what makes Newton great. We love the green areas around Newton where we walk our dog and let our son use the park and I am keen to preserve these and collaborate with the other parish council members to continue to develop Newton as a great place to live.
4. Cllr. Martyn Saulter, 07767 414840, vice-Chairman, martyn23.npc@gmail.com
We moved onto Main Street 9 years ago and were immediately made to feel welcome and Newton’s sense of community was evident.
I was born in Salisbury and grew up in Africa and Surrey, spent 17 years in Bedford before making another step northwards.
I spent most of my career with an American tech company and held several global leadership roles before retiring last year.
Both my daughters live locally, so Nottinghamshire now definitely feels like home.
Newton has masses of potential and I am keen to ensure it retains its rural charm as it grows and develops. It’s that mix that makes it such a great place to live.
5. Cllr. Sarah Shaw, 07944 432050, , 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
6. 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.
7. Cllr. Nicholas Wilson, chairman, 078170540123, nick.wilson@outlook.com
