Campaigning for a better Henley-in-Arden
Mike Willmott, Chair of Henley
Independents (HI), announced today that HI
will be fielding 12 candidates in the Joint Parish Council elections on May
3rd.
"This is great news for
Henley and Beaudesert’ he said, ‘we have submitted our nomination papers to
Stratford District Council and I can confirm we have 7 candidates standing for
Henley and 5 for Beaudesert. This means that we will be able to contest every
seat on the Joint Parish Council.
"We have managed to recruit
several younger people – the average age of our candidates is 52 (editor’s
note: current JPC = 72), and we have 5 female candidates (editor’s note;
current JPC = 3).
Our candidates are committed and
enthusiastic people who have some excellent ideas for Henley and Beaudesert.
Our aims are to make our town an even better place to live in, to reduce costs
and bureaucracy (editor’s note: current JPC's admin = 42% of expenditure)
and to engage with everyone who lives and works in the town – from young to
old. With our excellent candidates in place, we are well on the way to
achieving these aims.”
