Richard Wright

I am married to Helen (High Legh Village Hall Manager) and we have two children – Thomas and Sarah, who both went to High Legh Primary. Thomas is studying medicine, firstly at St. Andrews and now under Manchester University at Wythenshawe and Sarah is now studying Chemistry at Bath University. I was educated at High Legh Primary (now the Village Hall), Bedstone School in South Shropshire and Shuttleworth Agricultural College in Bedfordshire . I am a rural businessman working in farming. The family has been at Broadheys Farm since 1831, and we are the 5th generation to farm there and the 4th generation of family to serve on the Parish Council. I am well versed in High Legh history and knowledge of the area. I enjoy serving the community and on the Parish Council I work actively on the Finance, Highways, HS2, and Planning Committees and assist with the Neighbourhood Plan, and I am now on my second stint as Chairman of the Parish Council having been Chairman previously over ten years ago.
