Dr John Farrand-Rogers is/was a member of Moretonhampstead Parish Council, in 2011-15 and again 2019-2023. Here, all councillors sit without a political label, despite possibly holding strong political views.
He was co-opted onto the County Committee as one of the four representatives of town and parish councils in the Teignbridge District on the Devon Association of Local Councils.
Before retirement, he worked in the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEM), in particular in the Schools of Urban and Regional Planning, and of Political Science and Public Administration.
