Statement to voters
John moved to Calne in 1998 to be Head of Learning Support and teach English at Sheldon School.
Full statement
He was a town councillor from 2017 to 2021. He is Chair of the Calne Music & Arts Festival (responsible for this year’s amazing Pig Parade) and Chair of Calne Pocket Park & Community Garden.
He also co-chaired last year’s Priestley250 celebrations in Calne and is Vice-Chair of the Calne Fair Trade Group. He regularly marshals at the Calne Junior parkrun on Sunday mornings at The Rec.
He served as a school governor for many years and was a Calne Town Councillor 2017-21.
His particular local interests are planning, town centre development, the environment and arts and leisure provision. He has long campaigned for better monitoring of air quality along the A4, where an ‘Air Quality Management Area’ was declared 10 years ago, and is dismayed that Calne’s Wiltshire Councillors do not take this issue seriously enough.
“The world feels very uncertain at present and I worry for our children’s future. I want to do what I can to help make Calne a better place to live, work and grow up in.”
