CHICHESTER DISTRICT COUNCIL BY-ELECTION 4th May 2017 ANDY COLLINS Your Local Choice for Bosham Ward Including Chidham and Hambrook Hello! My name is Andy Collins May I take this opportunity to introduce myself as the Conservative candidate for the Bosham Ward on the Chichester District Council. I have lived in this area for the last 40 years and am deeply attached to this part of the country. We first lived in Bosham and are now settled in Hambrook. I have been fully involved in local affairs and I have been on the committee of the local Residents’ Association for many years, becoming Chairman. After my retirement I also became a member of the Chidham & Hambrook Parish Council and am now Vice-Chairman. I took on the task of producing the Neighbourhood Plan for the parish. The Plan secured overwhelming support in a referendum and is now adopted. For 15 years I ran my own engineering design company and am interested in renewable energy, especially for vehicles. We all need to drive but we need to be aware of the pollution vehicles cause. If we enjoy the community we live in, we want to see its preservation and improvement. So I want to be involved in the District Council’s decision-making on your behalf, especially with housing, roads and other infrastructure. I will do my best to represent the needs and wishes of all the people in this Ward on the District Council.
