Lib Dem Candidate for NHDC Chesfield Ward

Shock Decision by Sal Jarvis

It’s been quite a week, after a shock decision by Sal Jarvis to not defend her NHDC Chesfield Ward Councillor seat at the coming 5th May 2016 elections. Sal and the Lib Dem team has asked me to stand for the next election, which I have accepted.

I would like to thank Sal for her 16 years of Council service, and how proud the party and I am on her achievements and commitment to being an all year around councillor.
 
Sal will be a very tough act to follow and if successful, I will do my best to provide the same high levels of service to the Chesfield Ward that you have enjoyed with Sal in the past. I was honoured to be asked to stand as a candidate in place of Sal for the Chesfield Ward seat this 5th May.
 
I am very pleased that I will also be getting Sal’s full support with my campaign and she will continue to be my mentor in the future.

 

 

NHDC Chesfield Ward Election Results

District Election for Chesfield ward.

First, I would like to thank everyone who voted for me in Great Ashby, Little & Great Wymondley, Graveley, Jacks Hill, Todds Green, Titmore Green, Lower Titmore Green, & Redcoats Green.

The tide of Conservative voting in the General election was also reflected in the NHDC Chesfield Ward. The voting was as follows : Conservative: 1682 (Cathryn Henry) Labour: 647 (Simon Peter Watson) Libdem (me): 564 UKIP: 497 (Colin Rafferty) & Green: 149 Felix Power). Turnout was 68.01%

I congratulate Cathryn on her win and look forward to working with her in my role as a Great Ashby Community Councillor.

On a personal positive side, I have gained a lot of campaign experience at district level and have enjoyed meeting and discussing issues with voters at their doors. I would like to thank my colleagues in the local Libdem team but especially to Sal and Steve Jarvis.

I shall continue to serve Great Ashby as a Community Councillor and work with Sal and Cathryn, at district, to address issues and give a strong voice to our community here in Great Ashby.

When the opportunity arises, as Arnie says “I’ll be back!”, I will stand again as a candidate as a district councillor!
