Councillor Paul Curry - Chair
Paul Curry joined Speldhurst Parish Council in August 2021. He was Chair of the council for 3 years between 2022 and 2025, and is now Chair of the Planning Committee, and a member of the Finance & Governance Committee and Environment Working Group.
Paul was elected to be a Tunbridge Wells Alliance Borough Councillor for Speldhurst and Bidborough Ward from May 2023 to May 2024.
Paul is a Software Engineer for a major online publisher, with extensive experience in the consumer connectivity and media industries. He enjoys less-usual travel and experiences, having toured Chernobyl twice, climbed a wind turbine, trained how to survive at sea, sunk in the Navy's sinking ship simulator and once had his potatoes stolen, causing a minor media event.
Raised in Brighton, Paul moved to Speldhurst in 2015 and is actively seeking to improve the infrastructure in the area by bringing gigabit fibre connectivity to the village and surrounding areas. He enjoys planning and executing projects which have a wide-scale impact for the community, but also getting hands-on, repairing the gates and fences in the local park in his spare time.
