Suzanne Brown is the Councillor representing Marlow South East and has worked in Marlow for the last 34 years, living in the town for the last 17 years. She has also served on Marlow Town Council for the last ten years and is known just as Suzanne around town in Marlow.

Commening on her appoing Cllr Brown said: ‘I’m really excited about the year ahead – it’s a great honour to be chosen. In a role like this you get to meet so many inspirational and dedicated people from all kinds of organisations, and you really do see just how much people do for our local communities.

Suzanne takes up her new role immediately, at the start of National Dementia Week. ‘This is a cause I am passionate about. It affects more and more people and it seems fitting to make this my chosen good cause for my year as Chairman.’
