In case you didn’t already know, there will be a town council by-election in the Avon and Twyford wards later this month. We have three excellent candidates in place and ready to hit the ground running.
Our candidates will be John Clatworthy (Avon ward) and Mike Arens and Ben Large (Twyford ward), pictured here with Nigel Huddleston MP in front of the Town Hall. If all goes well with the election, this is a place that John, Mike and Ben will become very familiar with!
John Clatworthy is a former RAF parachute instructor and disability sport coach, now retired and living in Evesham.
Mike Arens is a successful businessman who runs a car repair and MOT workshop on Offenham Road.
Ben Large is an IT professional and keen photographer who has a particular interest in the environment and climate change.
How you can help
The most important way to help, of course, is to vote! If you live in either Avon ward or Twyford ward, then please make sure you get down to the polling station on Thursday 28th October. For both wards, your polling station will be the Catholic Church Hall on the High Street. As this is just a by-election you won’t receive a poll card in the post, so please save this email as a reminder!
Not sure which ward you live in? There’s a handy map and list of streets on the Evesham Town Council website:
Leaflet Deliveries
We’re currently in the process of getting election leaflets printed. We aim to start deliveries this weekend (15th/16th October), and then continue through the week, finishing on the weekend of the 22nd/23rd October, a few days before the election.
If you’d like to help deliver them, please let us know. This doesn’t need to be a particularly big commitment, just 30 minutes or an hour of your time on a day that you choose. You can do this on your own if you prefer, but we will probably have a couple of organised campaign days when we get together as a group for tea, coffee and biscuits before heading out to deliver. If you’d like to be involved in that, then please let us know which days and times are most likely to be convenient for you.
