Vote Independent FAREHAM BOROUGH ELECTIONS MAY 6TH 2021 PEOPLE BEFORE POLITICS A BETTER DEMOCRACY FOR SARISBURY & FAREHAM VOTE INDEPENDENT VOTE GEOFF TOWNLEY Sarisbury & Fareham / Independent TEL: 01489 564626 EMAIL: [email protected] A Message from your Candidate Geoff Townley Dear Resident, I believe that “less is more” in local government and that an open and honest approach should be the aim of all elected officials. Regrettably this is not how the Fareham Council is run, it is on the verge of being a “rotten borough”, primarily due to the activities of a few individuals, principally the leader of the council Sean Woodward. Sean Woodward has a litany of complaints made against him which include the bullying of fellow councillors and members of his own party, complaints have been lodged with the Conservative Party Headquarters (still under review), Fareham Borough Council and just recently Hampshire County Council where he has been found guilty of breaches of conduct. He and other councillors are barred by the Conservative Party from holding senior positions with the Fareham Association due to their behaviour. The un-democratic cabinet system, first introduced by Labour, has led to a situation where Councillor Woodward decides which councillors get the lucrative senior councillor positions, he even decided which candidates are selected to stand, he threatens existing councillors with being deselected if they don’t obey him, one councillor was interviewed three times before she retained her position as a candidate for her own seat, which she had held for a number of years, all because he did not approve of her friends. He coerced some members to get me suspended as Deputy Chairman of Fareham Conservatives as I had the temerity to stand up to him, following a fabricated claim of assault against a female friend of his, Joanne Bull, allegedly by serving Police Officers, which was rejected and a counter allegation against both of them has been left on file by the Police. He lied about my involvement with the Police Officers when he presented his defence to the HCC disciplinary committee. Yours sincerely Geoff Townley A BETTER DEMOCRACY FOR SARISBURY & FAREHAM www.farehamindependentgroup.uk FAREHAM INDEPENDENTS - PEOPLE BEFORE POLITICS KNOW YOUR TORY CANDIDATE 3. She then conspired with Councillor Woodward to Councillor Woodward is now promoting this same setup a rival display team, Green Rockets Motorcycle female friend Joanne Bull to be your councillor, so what Display Team (aka Solent Stars) this action caused do you know about her:- “The Rockets” to lose their £30,000 grant, which had been approved by FBC & HCC, £15,000 each.This has 1. She was a partner in the The Rockets Children’s caused the Rockets severe financial distress.

She had unlawfully taken a substantial amount of money from the Rockets Team, 2. Following this she wanted to draw a salary of £10,000 leaving them in financial distress, she was taken to pa which the group could not afford, which also went court where she was issued with a CCJ and ordered to against the values of this not-for profit organisation. repay the money. SOMETHING ABOUT ME and then having become a cricket coach I formed the Colts section at Locks Heath C. C. I am a member of the “Taxpayers Alliance”, we campaign for better control of councils spending, including excessive pay for senior management, especially the “Town Clerks” who have been retitled “Chief Executives” and vanity projects. I have been a supporter of Conservative values which mean “small government”, low taxes and self-reliance, but with a social duty. I am disgusted that Fareham Conservatives have claimed for £10,000 as Covid 19 compensation, when they FIRST GOOD REASON only have one part time employee and many self-employed ION have ONE lived in OR various TWO parts of Fareham since people have received nothing. 1959LINES and have lived in the Western Wards sinceFour lines 1980. of text about what issues/projects/ policies you’ve already done or are doing or I want local taxpayers to get better value for money by making will be doing in your ward/area.

  • Part Two 1914 -1938 Part Two 1914 - 1938
    Part Two 1914 -1938 Part Two 1914 - 1938 Childhood and Families Alan Brind My granddad was Herbert Allen (Jack) Laxton 1884 – 1936. He married Eva Whitear from Titchfield in 1913 and they lived at 81 West St. Titchfield. Jack served for 24 years in the 108th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery which, as Sergeant, he left in 1926. He was a horseman par excellence and served the whole of WW1 in France and Belgium coming through numerous engagements uninjured. He was awarded a Mons Star with Clasp and Roses, British Army War Medal and Victory Medals. He left the army in 1926 and became a bricklayer and worked on the building of Titchfield Primary School and also the Embassy and Savoy cinemas in Fareham. It was ironic that despite having worked with horses throughout his army career, he died, aged 52, following an infection due to a bite from a horse fly. Donald Upshall As I was the first grandchild in the Upshall family I was named after my uncle who was killed in WW1. If you look in the church you will see his name on the remembrance plaque. My father started the garage on East Street when I was born. Now, in 2015, we've been in business 89 years. Today you don't realise how narrow the roads were then. There were no kerbs. You just walked along the edge of the road. But there wasn’t much traffic then. It is so different now of course. I remember the main A27 road. I used to push my brother in his pushchair all the way in to Fareham where they had all these Hornby toys.

  • Part Four 1946 -1964 B
    Part Four 1946 - 1964 Colin Wilton-Smith “I remember the honesty and trust displayed by the occupiers - good old days!” In January 1963 I started work as an articled pupil with Hall, Pain & Foster, Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents, at 48 West Street, Fareham (now Beals Estate Agents). I was one of three articled pupils and we were required to collect rents on a Monday of each week. One week covered the Gosport area; the alternate week was Titchfield and the Western wards of Fareham. The Titchfield rent round involved, amongst others, the collection of rents in Catisfield Lane, the centre of Titchfield village and areas close by - some 50 or 60 properties with weekly rents of anything between 10 shillings (50p) and 15 shillings (75p). I rode a BSA 250cc scooter, a lethal machine - lots of power and little stability. On one occasion, before the village was by-passed and when Catisfield Lane led to the village, I skidded into a ditch scattering the rent money amongst the leaves and with the scooter ending up somewhere down the road. Rents in the village were collected mainly from East Street, the cottages in Church Path and West Street. In those days if the tenants were not in, the door was left unlocked and the rent and rent book would be on the table inside. Most of the tenants were employed in the market gardening/ strawberry industries and during the strawberry season, bags or punnets of strawberries would be left for me, testing my aptitude of riding the scooter fully laden.

  • Stubbington Stubbington
    Stubbington Stubbington 1.0 PARISH Fareham (formerly Titchfield) 2.0 HUNDRED Titchfield 3.0 NGR 455600 103050 4.0 GEOLOGY Brickearth; Plateau Gravel to the south. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Stubbington is a settlement of approximately 4 km² that is situated 1km south of Fareham and on the eastern fringe of the wetlands of the River Meon valley. The principal access route is the B3334 that approaches from the north-west. Hill Head, a southern suburb has a small harbour on the Solent. The land is even, reaching 10m AOD at its highest points. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 and 5) Irregular row 6.1.1 Stubbington is an irregular settlement, the principal feature of which is Stubbington House (now Crofton Community Centre) and its associated walled park. Pevsner and Lloyd interpret Stubbington as a village with a green (1967: 186) but clearly it is not nor ever has been. The place-name indicates that the origin of the settlement was within a woodland clearing, probably an assart, or a collection of assarts (see Paragraph 15.0). The lands of Stubbington came gradually into the hands of the abbey of Titchfield beginning with a grant by William de Rayny in 1293. In the same year a grant of free warren was made to the abbott (VCH 3: 229). This grant of free warren is, perhaps echoed in the existence of the Stubbington House Park. 6.1.2 The 1837-8 Tithe Map (Map 3) shows Stubbington as a random array of houses and barns, most of them within small, well spaced, rectangular plots along the roadsides.
