Cllr Sue Habberfield

Deputy Mayor

Bio: I have proudly called North Newton home for over 35 years and have always enjoyed being actively involved in village life. As a member of the Village Hall Committee and a supporter of our local Flower Show, I am passionate about helping to keep our community vibrant and welcoming.

For the past four years, I have served as a Parish Councillor, working to represent residents and support the needs of our village. As a farmer’s wife, I understand the importance of rural life and the value of strong community spirit.

Alongside my community roles, I am also a professional cake maker, combining creativity and attention to detail in my work. Whether through volunteering, local events, or helping neighbours where I can, I always strive to be as helpful and supportive as possible.

Bio: I am a community-minded person who is passionate about supporting and helping people in our local area. I became a councillor because I care deeply about the wellbeing of our community and want to make a positive difference in people’s everyday lives.

Being a councillor gives me the opportunity to listen to residents, stand up for their concerns, and work collaboratively to find practical solutions. I gain a real sense of purpose and fulfilment from serving others and contributing to a stronger, more connected community.
