Tim Burt

Tim is a retired professor of physical geography from Durham University. His main research interests are in hydrology (water quality in particular) and climate change. Tim grew up in rural Somerset so it was lovely to be able to move back to the West Country. Tim and Elizabeth bought their house in Sampford Peverell in 2013 and moved in full-time in 2017.

Besides being Chair of the Parish Council, Tim has the following roles:
