DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2008 |

VOTE FOR
KEITH GREENWELL
as your new
District Councillor
He’ll always fight for the interests of CHIPPING
NORTON
FIRST
|
| |
| |
|
KEITH GREENWELL
grew up and was educated in the Worcestershire countryside.
He is
married with a grown up son and daughter and is actively involved in
country sports.
He spent
14
years with an international management consultancy
Was Managing Director of Royal Worcester and Deputy Chairman of Richton
International Inc in New York
Keith
has worked in USA and most European countries and has a broad knowledge
and experience of businesses of all sizes
He
started the Worcester Enterprise Agency creating jobs in the city in the
recession of the 80’s
Since joining the Town Council he has been an active member of the Finance
Committee and the Town Hall Committee and has recently been nominated as
Deputy Mayor. Keith has organised several important grant applications and
has taken the lead in two working parties devoted to reviewing the
location and funding options for a Community and Youth centre. He believes
his financial and management experience can be very useful in optimising
the town’s assets and securing grant funding in order to develop local
facilities. Keith
is a true conservative but with an independent spirit |

| |
|
Keith has just been nominated the new Deputy Mayor of
Chippy. He is a life-long conservative but stands as an Independent
because he has strong ideas of his own and doesn’t want to obey the orders
of a big party who often don’t act in the local interest.
Keith has spent his life at the top of British business. He
has the right experience to help us win some important battles in Witney –
like fighting for jobs, stopping garden-grabbing for development, getting
a youth centre, diverting the HGVs, and stopping the vandals
Keith has shown his commitment already in three years
successful work on the Town Council. Now he is asking you to give him the
chance to represent Chippy’s interests in Witney where some of the big
decisions are made. Keith will fight to get the things Chippy ratepayers
say they need but which our District Councillors have so far failed to
deliver |

We need real jobs in the town
When
Parker Knoll closed five years ago we were promised hundreds of new jobs
plus an Enterprise Centre. Where are all these jobs? Where is the
Enterprise Centre? We have funded a Partnership which has achieved
nothing. I helped to start the Worcester Enterprise Agency which helped
small businesses to start and created jobs. I can use this experience to
help Chippy. Let’s use Greystones for industrial units. Let’s demand the
District use their cash mountain to encourage job creation. Let’s insist
that the Industrial units get built up at Parker Knoll. Its about time.
Councillor Glyn Watkins says:
Keith is one of the very few local politicians to have recent business
management experience. We need his help. |

Too much housing development!
Every
square foot of our town is being covered in concrete. Everything is making
way for expensive town houses. Not much for young families. And now the
latest development is garden grabbing. Find a house with a big garden,
knock it down and build eight flats. There is a proposal to build over
forty flats right in the town centre behind Topside. All this is straining
services like drainage, water supply, surgeries and schools. Traffic and
parking are impossible. And still the kids of old-established families
can’t get a three-bedroom house to rent they so badly need.
Councillor Gerry Alcock says:
Keith has been helping to develop a Town Council plan to try and ensure
that WODC planners don’t wreck the character of Chippy. We need Keith in
Witney to help make that plan happen! |

We must stop the vandals
Every resident of this town knows we have a very annoying problem created
by a small number of troublemakers who seem to get their kicks from
trashing buses, breaking shop windows, vandalising the Lido and the
allotments and starting fires all over the place. This must be stopped.
It is our facilities they are wrecking.
Instead of being out on the street, our Police seem to prefer workshops,
doing surveys, action groups, 18-point plans and Safety partnerships. Can
we please concentrate on sorting out these yobs who are making life a
misery for so many people? |

We need a community centre
Chipping
Norton spends far less per head on leisure activity than Carterton or
Witney. We want to see the development of our local facilities to provide
recreation and entertainment for everyone - young people and senior
citizens. How can we use the town hall more as a centre for social
activity? How can we make the leisure Centre more affordable to all?
We
must force developers under planning gain legislation to pay for
buildings and facilities.
Councillor Kristel Withers says :
Keith has been deeply involved in a working party which proposes using the
old hospital building as a Community and Youth centre. This plan now needs
the strongest possible support at District level. Keith is the best person
to achieve it for us all. |

We must divert the HGVs
Heavy HGV traffic -
and the damage and pollution it causes - is one of Chippy’s biggest
problems. The London Road is dangerous now. Just wait until the hospital
is built. More pedestrian crossings are urgently needed. There is already
an agreed lorry route avoiding Chippy. It must be signposted properly. We
also need a weight limit. A few prosecutions will soon drive the main
culprits away from the town. Cutting down on HGVs will immediately solve
our air quality problems.
Councillor Mike Dixon says
The
Buzz word of the day is Green. Well who should we vote for?
VOTE
GREENWELL
for the District Council - the man who will always fight for the interests
of Chipping Norton first |
