About Jayne
Council representative for Four Towns and Vale Link Transport, Avon Local Councils Association
South Gloucestershire Councillor – Thornbury ward
Mace Bearer for 2025-26 civic year
Having been a Thornbury Town Councillor since 2017, I am pleased to be representing Thornbury residents again following re-election in 2023.
My working life began as a systems analyst in the field of Industrial Process Control, having graduated from Bristol University. Following the birth of my children I retrained as a secondary maths teacher and moved to Thornbury 30 years ago. I taught in schools in Bristol and South Gloucestershire, including 4 years at Castle School before moving the HE sector to work in teacher training. I now work in the maths department at Bristol University, where I teach Foundation Degree maths units and Maths Education related units.
My main hobby is dance, mainly an off-shoot of belly dance called tribal and I also attend adult ballet classes in Thornbury.
