Steve Ashton

Educated at Tonbridge School and Imperial Coll. London. I recently retired from a career at a major computer manufacturer. I have written books on server virtualisation and clustering.
I have lived in Somerset for seventeen years. The household is now self-sufficient although I am always looking to reduce its climate impact. I am a climate change zealot as I see this as having the greatest impact on our lives. The two goals being to reduce one’s carbon footprint and to become resilient to the inevitable changes coming.
I work for SomersetFT and have delivered around 10,000 Covid vaccinations over the last 18 months.
I am a parish councillor for Merriott, Hinton St George and Crewkerne where I specialise in planning issues. I serve on my local PPG and have a specific interest in public health.
