CHRIS BUTTERWORTH

Dear Elector,

I am standing for election as a Conservative Town Councillor in the forthcoming Local elections.

Although a relative newcomer to Chippy, my branch of the Butterworth family is returning to its roots as my great-great-grandfather came south from Yorkshire in1852 and became the Manager of the Bliss Mills as well as the first President of the Chipping Norton Co-operative society in 1866!

I am a retired schoolmaster, aged 62, who taught Physics at Radley College, a boy’s Independent School, near Abingdon, for 36 years.  I was a Housemaster for 16 years and Second Master for 15 years. On retiring in 2004 my wife Sue and I moved to Chippy where we are much enjoying the friendly atmosphere and the bustle of a lively market town.  Sue is an Occupational Therapist who manages Dialability, a charity based at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford.  We have three children; Edward, a Major in the Army Air Corps, Hannah a medical Doctor in Exeter and Victoria a Town planning consultant.

I was a member of Radley Village Parish Council for 12 years and the L.E.A. governor for the Village C of E Primary School for 11 years.

Regarding local issues I would be interested in helping to tackle are the problems of anti-social behaviour, drug taking, vandalism and other crime.

 I have served on two advisory consultative committees for the Vale of the White Horse.  These were involved with Crime and Disorder (Drug and alcohol abuse) and Road Safety
