Witham West

Jon Hayes & Ron Ramage
Braintree District Council

Our Priorities are YOUR Priorities

As a new District team for Witham West, we want to build on the achievements of former councillors Patrick Horner and Bill Rose, to make our town an even better place to work and live.

If we’re elected, we’ll always defend against inappropriate development, using the new protections provided by the Council’s Local Plan to deliver better community infrastructure, such as the new Community Centre near Maltings Lane. We’ll also campaign passionately for the enhanced healthcare provision that Witham so clearly needs.

We’ll work closely with local MP Priti Patel, and Essex Police, to
ensure that the town receives its fair share of the 900 new police officers, helping to keep our county safe. Our Conservative-controlled District Council already provides high quality services while delivering value for money, and a vote for us will see this continue. Residents will still be able to rely on regular bin collections, while also receiving a £25 Council Tax refund this year.

We are asking for you to vote for us on Thursday 4th May, so we can build on the Conservative successes of the past and deliver for residents in the future.
