Cllr John Bovill
I have lived in East Yorkshire most of my life, and moved to Hessle 7 years ago. I work in the manufacturing industry, having recently acheived 25 years of service with a large coatings company. I was delighted to be elected as a Town Councillor in May 2015. I think Hessle is a great place to live. It has a very good housing mix and a good range of locally owned shops and businesses. Both myself and my wife like the community ‘feel’ to Hessle. Local government and local businesses are going through testing times at the moment but myself and colleagues will do our utmost to help Hessle maintain its unique character and help keep it a desirable place to live and do business.

Cllr Phil Davison
I have been involved in local politics since being elected to Beverley Borough Council in 1979 as a Liberal. I have also served on Hessle Town Council since 1996 representing the Westfield Ward. I have been Chairman of Finance and Planning Committees and of the Council. In 2007 I was elected to the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
I have lived in Hessle for over 40 years and have recently retired from a career in accountancy and auditing. I will continue to listen to the views of Hessle people, representing them on the Council and will work to develop the traditional, distinctive community nature of Hessle.
Councillor Ian Hardy
Councillor Ross Harrison
Born and raised in East Yorkshire and after spending a decade living and working in London I returned to Hessle in 2020. My focus is to continue to improve Hessle and make it the best place it can possibly be to raise a family, including my own chaotic family of two boys under two. Supporting the Town Hall refurbishment effort will be an area of focus for me and helping make the Town Hall even better focal point for town activities and events.

Councillor Simon Keillor
Councillor Jayne Langdale
I have lived in Hessle now for 20 years. I also work in Hessle at the new Bridgehead site, working for Sgsco.
What started off as me setting up a neighbourhood watch group to not just help with crime, but also to improve the area, resulted in members of the parish approaching me to stand for the Town Council. Like I said to them then and I still say now, I like to and will strive to get a job done. Whether that be parking, bins, parks etc. Hessle is a fantastic place to live and I feel privileged to stand for its residents and their thoughts and views.
