DISTRICT COUNCIL BY-ELECTION 4th May 2017 PETER WILDING Your Local Choice for Plaistow

Including , , and

Dear Resident,

I am your Conservative District Councillor Candidate for the Plaistow Ward By-Election on May 4th.

I was born and brought up in Billingshurst and have lived in Lurgashall for the last 20 years. I studied Engineering at and Cambridge Universities and did an MBA at London Business School. I have had a 36 year career in the computer industry, which involved both delivery and sales of computer services to the public sector. I retired from Hewlett Packard in 2015.

I have been a Parish Councillor in Lurgashall for 20 years, chaired the Planning Committee for 10 years and been Chairman of the Lurgashall Parish Council for the last year. This has given me extensive knowledge of planning issues which are an important part of the District Councillor's work.

I will do my best to represent your interests on Council and follow up on any issues you raise with me where you need assistance.

The Crouchlands facility in Plaistow is probably the biggest issue affecting this Ward. I will closely follow the planning appeal and make sure that, if it results in enforcement action, it is rigorously implemented.

My priorities are to make sure we get good value for money from our Council taxes and to make sure we preserve the beautiful rural environment we live in.

I very much hope to meet you while delivering this leaflet, or if you are out, in the next few weeks. Best Wishes

Peter
