A FORMER teacher at Elizabeth College could soon have a role in French parish politics.

John Hunter and wife Jan left Guernsey in 2003 to start a self-catering/bed and breakfast business in southern Dordogne. Mr Hunter was invited by the mayor of Penne d’Agenais in Lot et Garonne to join his list of candidates in the forthcoming parish election.

‘The role is very similar to the douzaines, not high-powered, but the more you hear people discussing it, the more complicated it seems to get.’
