Popular local Conservative Councillors Dennis Brown and John Noeken have been chosen to stand again with local resident Ian Mitchell.

Dennis and John have many years of Cabinet experience, at District and County level respectively.  They recently secured considerable funding to re-vitalise the Town’s main shopping centre to make it more pedestrian and visitor friendly, and will next turn their attention to enhancing the High Street and Church Street.  They are determined to see Amesbury flourish and grow.

Ian has been equally active spearheading a study of the Town’s major issues and how it needs to develop to meet community expectations, culminating in the launch of the Amesbury Market Town Partnership.   Ian is now looking to progress the aspirations of the Partnership further.

Together these three totally committed and dedicated people present a formidable team, combining years of local government experience with fresh and raw enthusiasm: they will serve Amesbury well.

Fred has a vision for Amesbury – a vision of a town run for and by the people who live in it. 

In March he persuaded the town council to set up a forum so that everyone can have their say and influence the way our town develops.  When he is re-elected, one of his first jobs will be to make sure that the Forum really works.  To make sure that it tells Town, District and County Councils what Amesbury really wants.

There is a lot to consider.  What should new buildings in the Town Centre look like?   How is the new Archer’s Gate community centre to be run?  Should Solstice Park be allowed to develop retail outlets?  Who will use the new sports field and pavilion?  How should we develop 125 acres of new recreational land for leisure?  (Lord’s Walk is 13½ acres.)

Fred wants your voice to be heard.

Penny Brown and Kevin Cardy have been selected to represent the residents of Bishopdown again.  During the past 4 years Penny and Kevin have worked hard in supporting you within the District Council.

Kevin and Penny have listened to the concerns of the residents, especially to the elderly and the vulnerable.  They have supported the Bishopdown Farm Resident’s Association.

Together they have worked with the Council Officers to provide additional recycling facilities, an extended cycle path, a footpath over the Downs and an increase in recreation facilities for the children.

Community safety is very important.  Your Conservative Councillors, Kevin and Penny, have a good working partnership with the police and the ward has a Police Community Support Officer.

Kevin and Penny look forward to continuing their work for the residents of Bishopdown and hope that you will support them in the May elections.

John Smale has been chosen by local Conservatives to succeed popular Councillor, Trevor Woodbridge.

 “John’s experience gained from serving in the Army will bring an extra understanding of local issues in a Ward closely linked to the garrison. I fully recommend him to you.”

Housing is one of the top priorities in the Conservative Party and we will help meet local social needs as well as those of first time buyers.

The Conservative Party ensures that in every new housing development at least a third of the homes have affordable tenancies.  In this way 483 new homes have been secured for rent or shared ownership in our District.

John will work closely with the local community and the Council to ensure Bulford receives a fair share of affordable housing. Help support this initiative by voting for him on 3 May.

Local Councillor Standing for Re-election

For the last 16 years John Cole-Morgan who lives in Charlton has done his best to represent the interests of all the people in the Donhead Ward on Salisbury District Council. With considerable experience in local government, in October 2001 he was invited to be one of the 10 members of the council’s Cabinet. Since then he has been responsible for all housing and community matters.

With a background in agriculture John has a special interest in rural issues and in particular the delicate balance between new development in the countryside and the preservation of our especially beautiful area.

On a number of highly controversial local planning issues he has played a very active  role in protecting our villages and Area of Outstanding National Beauty from inappropriate development whilst, at the same time, trying to ensure that requests for planning permission that will not adversely affect our environment are not refused for purely bureaucratic reasons.

Downton and Redlynch

Please vote for Jane, David and Caroline. They will make a difference in the community. They have all shown commitment and have a wide range of experience of local politics.

They will listen to residents’ and Parish Councils’ concerns and act upon them. They will keep up pressure for implementation and enforcement of the 7.5T HGV restriction, and seek measures to reduce speeding traffic and increase pedestrian safety.

They will promote sustainable living, green issues and encourage the arts, tourism and outdoor activities in the area. They applaud the voluntary work done locally, and want to help improve and secure local facilities for both the elderly and young people.

They support measures for increasing affordable housing and believe that our local businesses, playing fields and rural Post Offices are fantastic resources. Jane, David and Caroline will do all they can to safeguard these valuable assets.

Popular local Conservative Councillors Mark Baker and John Rodell have been chosen to stand with Durrington raised Cathy Hollis.

John and Mark are Cabinet members at District and County respectively. They have spoken up for Durrington tirelessly and with great success including many of the village roads being resurfaced, saving the swimming pool and sports centre from closure and have now turned their attentions to ensuring that loss of Durrington Post Office is only temporary and that this essential and much needed service is restored.

Cathy is a young Mum with two children aged 8 and 4 who are being educated in local schools. She is determined that the Village will continue to be a great place for young and old alike and will work with John and Mark to ensure that the Parish Plan is implemented. She wants to ensure that Durrington remains a thriving community for her children to grow up in and for their children in the future.

Together these three totally committed and dedicated people present a formidable team, combining experience of local government with fresh raw enthusiasm. They will work tirelessly for Durrington. Vote for action not words.
