MARTIN HANNANT

I have served on CN Town Council for 21 years and in that time I have had the honour to serve twice as Mayor of our wonderful town in 1984/5 and again in 1994/5.

I have lived in Chippy since 1966 and completed my education at CN School. Now I am primary school Headteacher and I am married to Maggie who is a Reception teacher at St Mary's School. We have two sons Christopher, 17 and Matthew, 15. Both attend CN School but Christopher is also a lifeguard at the new leisure centre. I think it is a great asset to the town and am very keen that the outdoor pool should also stay open.

I have been a member of the Nortonian Amateur Dramatic Society for 34 years and usually play Dame in the Town Hall pantomime. I am also a member of CN Methodist Church where I am the Senior Steward.

I am very eager to support the activities of young people and I am a founder member of CADG, Community Awareness Drugs Group. I am very keen to support the need for a skateboard park and am a member of the Recreation committee. I am also on the Cemetery committee.

I think CN is a superb town with many good facilities. I don't want to see it grow much bigger but I would like to see more Starter homes being built. I am also keen that there should be a lorry by-pass around our delightful town. With your support I will continue to serve the town and its very friendly people to the best of my ability.
