Cllr Peter Bodkin
Mayor
I have lived in Nailsworth since 2010. Following a career in school leadership, I continue to maintain my interest in education, currently serving as a school governor and acting as a consultant assisting schools with leadership appointments.
Nailsworth is a special place with its array of community groups, volunteers, independent retailers and a wide range of events and amenities. However, there are always challenges to be met and new opportunities to be explored.
I was initially co-opted on to the Council in 2023. Having been re-elected in 2024, I hope to continue to use my experience and skills to help address the challenges and to make a positive contribution to the continuing evolution of Nailsworth for the benefit of all its community.

Cllr Ros Mulhall
Deputy Mayor and Chair of Rec & Am Committee
I have lived in Nailsworth for 34 years and brought up my 3 children here. Until Sept 2017 I was a GP Partner at Prices Mill Surgery, with special interests in Women's Health and Dementia. I fully retired from Medical practice in May 2021. I have been a Nailsworth Town Councillor for 3 years.
Over the past few years, I have had more time to walk the many paths around Nailsworth with my dog, deepening my appreciation of our beautiful surroundings and enabling me to talk and connect with people in the town.
As a GP I know first hand and how important it is for everyone to feel involved and included in their local community, especially the Elderly, People with Dementia, and those with Disabilities, to avoid isolation and improve Health and Wellbeing.
I hope to be an approachable and familiar face, representing all residents, both young and old. I hope to influence changes and improvements in the town that will impact peoples health, and try to encourage inclusion and accessibility so all can take advantage of what Nailsworth has to offer as it continues to grow and thrive.
