Chairman of the Council
The Chairman of Braintree District Council for 2024-2025 is Councillor Lyn Walters.
When Councillor Lyn Walters first moved to Braintree in the 1980s, she served as a school governor, a role which she thoroughly enjoyed. Watching the children develop and grow into fine adults was a great privilege.
Throughout her career, Councillor Walters has always been employed and worked for a long time at a publishing house in Chelmsford. Despite her professional commitments, she found the time to be involved in local elections and was delighted to gain a seat at Braintree District Council in 2011.
In 2015, Councillor Walters had the honour of becoming the Chairman of Braintree District Council, a role she holds in high regard. Just like fellow councillors, Councillor Walters enjoys getting involved in the local community of Braintree District.
2024/25 is Councillor Walters’ second time serving as Chairman, she is currently self-employed and fits her Councillor and Chairman duties around her work schedule and enjoys a busy life.
