Deborah Taylor

Deborah was born in the north of England, living in different areas of the UK as a child. Deborah is married with one daughter and has lived in Anstey for over 17 years, with her husband Paul and their two rescue dogs, Duke and Bliss.

Since moving to Anstey, Deborah served on Anstey Parish Council for 8 years, most of that time as Vice-Chairman. Deborah has represented Anstey on Charnwood Borough Council since first being elected in May 2015. During that time, Deborah was a member of the Cabinet serving as Lead Member for Communities, Wellbeing and Safety from May 2019 to July 2021, when Deborah stepped down from the Cabinet to take on a new and exciting role at Leicestershire County Council. 

Deborah represents the Bradgate Division as a Leicestershire County Councillor at County Hall. She was first elected to the County Council in May 2017 and quickly rose up to be the Cabinet Support member for Children and Families Service and Community Safety in May 2019. 

Deborah has made a big difference to residents’ well-being, dealing with individual issues and large scale housing developments.

Deborah is keen to continue her good work and by working closely with her fellow Anstey Borough Councillor, Cllr Paul Baines and Cllr David Snartt, who represents the other villages within her Bradgate division, she continues to work hard, supporting residents and campaigning on important issues.
