Ruth Coates

Ruth grew up in Tewkesbury and moved to Berrow some 30 years ago.
She worked in the admin side of Estate Agency/Valuers businesses in her early
working life before moving into the Care sector where she worked as an
Administrator/Business Support Manager for a local organisation supporting people
with learning disabilities. She held this position for some 17 years.
She joined the Parish Council back in 2011, becoming the Chair in 2017, upon the
sad death of the previous Chair, who had been in post for some 16 years. Prior to
that she was Vice Chair for a few years.
She is very involved with the Berrow church benefice which includes the two local
churches of Berrow and Pendock and is on the pcc for this parish. She also enjoys
singing and music and is in a couple of local singing groups.
Her other interests are the countryside, walking, wildlife and holidaying in her VW
camper van. She has a pet cat and enjoys keeping chickens.
