Heathers Report for January

Parish Councils: Shropshire Council are proposing to take away the support grant for parish councils. Parish Councils in rural areas run on a very tight budget and although not large sums (£529 for Chirbury Parish and £1157 for Worthen and Shelve) these cuts will have an impact. Basically this is a political ploy by Shropshire Council freezing their council tax to look good and forcing Towns and parishes to increase theirs. It is effectively putting up the Council Tax by the back door.

County Press cutting from 16th January 2015

Election campaign launch announced

You may have read with interest the article in the County Press (CP, 16-01-15) and wondered why a Councillor from Eastleigh wishes to be the Liberal Democrats candidate in May? The answer is simple, the Island is the place where I grew up, from primary school age to tech college age; it's the place I started my career, with 11 years at Plesseys in Cowes; it's the place I met and married my wife of the past 25 years; it's the place our boys were born; it's the place where the rest of my family still live. In short, the Island is a place I care deeply about.
