Patching Hall ward

(covering Newlands Spring east, Woodhall, The Avenues and Corporation Road area)

Your Lib Dem Councillors are Alan Arnot and Stephen Robinson (and formerly Tom Smith-Hughes). Details below, followed by local information.

Alan Arnot is a keen environmental campaigner. He and the Liberal Democrats have pressed the Environment Agency to take action on clogging-up the river at the end of the Avenues. (This spoils the appearance of the river AND increases the possibility of flooding.)

Alan and colleagues are continuing to campaign to stop The Avenues and other local roads being clogged by commuter parking, from the High School and the University.

As well as being your local Councillor, Alan is a Governor at Lawford Mead Junior School.

Stephen Robinson [info & contact] set up the "Don't Choke Chelmsford" campaign, against Conservative plans to cram too many flats, houses and cars into this area (www.dontchoke.org.uk).

Stephen, Tom and Alan have long campaigned (with local residents) against Conservative proposals for over 400 houses near Newlands Spring, Patching Hall Lane and Woodhall Road. This would add to traffic on Broomfield Road and nearby roads, and pressurise local services.

Stephen has written submissions at all stages of the housing consultation process and attended the public inquiries on this subject, most recently in January 2011.
