Three parish councillors are vying to make the step up to Shropshire Council in a by-election later this month.
Conservative candidate Jonathan Davey, Liberal Democrat Colin Taylor and Labour’s Ann Philp have all set out why they think they are the best person to represent the Alveley and Claverley division on the unitary council.
“I am a parish councillor in Morville, have experience as a former borough councillor, and have worked with charities to help preserve our wonderful countryside and traditions. Liberal Democrat candidate Colin Taylor has served on Alveley and Romsley Parish Council for a total of 18 years, and sat on the former Bridgnorth District Council for 12 years. This experience, he says, will enable him to “hit the ground running”.
Following his wife’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease, Mr Taylor was her carer for four years until her passing two years ago.“I was a district councillor so I would like to think I have got a reasonable track record within the Alveley part of the ward at least, and I hope I would be able to do the same for the Claverley area. I am the only candidate that lives in the ward.”
In her role as a parish councillor, Dr Philp has been involved in the development of the emerging neighbourhood plan for the area, in response to controversial plans for more than 1,000 houses to be built as part of the proposed ‘Tasley Garden Village’. She says this demonstrates her commitment to supporting the local community.
