Cheshire West and Chester Local Authority.
In a bold moment, Don decided to put himself up for nomination as Conservative Candidate for the Marbury Ward of Cheshire West and Chester local authority. In an even bolder decision, the Conservative members adopted him as a candidate alongside two existing councillors, Norman Wright and Malcolm Byram. The election was on 6 May 2011 and 2035 electors voted for him – giving him a significant majority over the Labour candidates – their highest vote being 1184. Turnout was 44% which by local government election standards is reasonable. Thank you to anyone reading this who gave support..
Marbury has been a Conservative Ward, but there can be no forecasts in these uncertain times.
Cheshire West and Chester is one of the more efficient unitary authorities, with a good track record overall. However, additional savings and efficiencies are required looking forward, and there will continue to be pressures to provide new services, and a desire to avoid cuts to existing frontline services. There are challenging times ahead.
Don hopes to promote:
• Value for taxpayers' money in these frugal times.
• Appropriate distribution of resources across the whole of area covered by Cheshire West and Chester.
• Effective transition of certain NHS services to the control of the local authority under the reorganisation proposals presently concerning the NHS.
Don is also standing for Northwich Town Council On May 6, but has little expectation of being elected to this Labour-controlled Council.
If elected to either post, Don expects it to be for one electoral term of four years only - this is not sought as a change of career or a retirement job.
