In support of Henley NEWS

At Wednesday night’s meeting of the Beaudesert & Henley JPC, Peter Crathorne, right, speaking in his capacity as chairman of the Hub@ Henley Youth and Community Centre Management Committee, Treasurer of Henley Men (HENMEN), a trustee of the Heritage Centre, and chairman of the Managing Trustees of the Henley War Memorial Trust, started by saying,

“I rise to speak to counter the assertion that Bill Leech does nothing for the town”.

He said that he believed that the work of running Henley NEWS Online is often taken for granted by the organisations that depend on it for their publicity. He expressed the appreciation of the many organisations and individuals who had contacted him in the 24 hours prior to the meeting of the JPC, and asked that this should be considered by the JPC when talking about the motion of no confidence in Bill Leech.

Mr Crathorne later confirmed that he spoke on behalf of 33 residents and 16 town organisations and businesses, all of whom had contacted him in the previous 24 hours.
