Anthony H. Turner M.B.E., J.P. - Lincolnshire County Councillor


Tony Turner is a Lincolnshire man through and through. Born in Cleethorpes and educated at Clee Grammar School, he was the borough’s youngest ever mayor.

He trained as an engineer, before working first for his father, and later for himself.

In 1986 he moved to Swallow where he is an active member of the Village Hall and Playing Fields Committee.

He is a widower with two grown-up daughters both living in Swallow, and four grandchildren who attend Brocklesby Park and Caistor Yarborough Schools.

Tony has been a councillor for most of his adult life, serving on Cleethorpes Borough and Humberside County Councils before being elected to Lincolnshire County Council for the North Wolds Division in 1995.

As a County Councillor he has always believed his first duty is to serve the interests of those who elected him and never to follow slavishly the party line. To this end he attends not only meetings at County Hall in Lincoln, but Parish and Town Council Meetings throughout the division averaging about ten a month. At these he notes all local concerns and makes sure that these are passed on to the appropriate departments within twenty-four hours.

He has always been particularly interested in education and young people, having been involved in youth work since his own early twenties both at a practical level with various Youth Clubs and as Chairman of Cleethorpes Youth Committee. He is a Governor of Signhills School in Cleethorpes, and currently serves on the Lincolnshire County Education Committee.

He is also a member of the Highways, Public Protection , and Investment (Pensions) Committees .

As well as being on the County Council, Tony is a member of the Eastern Fisheries Committee.

He was awarded the M.B.E . for Services to the Community in 1997.
