TOWN COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2003

 


  DON DAVIDSON

Teacher at Chipping Norton School for 25 years - from 1974 to 1999. Currently working for the County Council Education Department - Premises Group. Trade union and Health & Safety representative for the National Association of Schoolmasters, Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT). Currently branch President for West Oxfordshire Association and Oxfordshire County Vice President.

Resident in Chipping Norton since 1977 Member of Chipping Norton Community Education Committee. Member of Chipping Norton Youth Club Management Committee. Elected to Chipping Norton Town Council in 1991. Served as Town Mayor from May 1996 to May 1998. Serving on numerous committees including Estimates, Grants to Voluntary Bodies, Town Hall Management, Health & Safety - to name a few!

Since coming to Chipping Norton I have become very involved in the community & as well as the above have been the Editor of Chipping Norton News, Chair of Governors of Chipping Norton Nursery School and Chair of Trustees of the ACE Centre.

I firmly believe that the town owes its very special character to the people who live here and that their needs are worth investing in and fighting for. As a member of the Town Council I have always tried to ensure that the town receives the quality of services it deserves. However with the limited powers allowed us this has often been - and continues to be - a difficult task. In recent years we have had some success - the Infant School site was not sold to developers and is now the ACE Centre, at last we have an indoor swimming pool with other facilities in the Leisure Centre - but there are other facilities needed. A skateboard/rollerblade area for young people, perhaps a centralised health/welfare centre, more accommodation for visitors and in view of recent announcements more employment opportunities. If re-elected I will continue this task by trying to gain even greater co-operation between the Town Council and both the District & County Councils to provide the facilities we need in Chipping Norton.
