It has been a red-hot summer for a senior lecturer from the University of Bedfordshire who has created history.
Sian Timoney, who holds a degree and MSc in Midwifery, works part-time for the University as a senior lecturer in midwifery and women’s health based at Butterfield Park.
Now the Luton borough councillor is the first female chair of the Bedfordshire and Luton Combined Fire Authority, having been a member of the Authority since 2003 and vice-chair since June 2005.
She said: “I am delighted to have been elected as chair of the Combined Fire Authority and would like to thank my colleagues and the former chairman Anthony Duggan for sharing his experience.
“I hope that the CFA can continue to work together as one to support the work of the officers of the Fire and Rescue Service in keeping our community safe, at home and on the roads.”
The Bedfordshire and Luton Combined Fire
Authority comprises members from the three unitary councils in Bedfordshire -
Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire and
Luton Borough.
As a member of the Combined Fire Authority, she has served on several other bodies, including the fire authorities’ Regional Management Board, and is a member of the Local Government Association Fire Forum.
Sian represents Farley Ward in Luton as a borough councillor and is also a school governor and a lay member on employment tribunals.
The mum of three, who lives with her partner in Luton, still finds time to go running and has taken part in several 5k and 10k races.
