Caring and campaigning for our community
Your priorities are my priorities
1 Oppose unsustainable development I will oppose large-scale and unsustainable developments in our villages, both housing and wind turbines.
Continue to fight against HS2. I have campaigned against HS2 2
and I will work hard for the best mitigation possible for our communities, both during and after construction as well as fair compensation for those most affected by HS2.

Fight for Superfast Broadband I will fight to bring superfast broadband to the local area, because there are many small businesses and residents in our villages who depend on a reliable internet connection.
Simon with Robin Digby, who served as your District Councillor for Astwell for a number of years.
Action for you all year round
What we have achieved together
■ ■ Made every £ count. We have frozen
Council Tax for the past five years and will keep it frozen for 2015/16, keeping more money in your pocket.
■ ■ Spent every £ on front-line services.
We have restructured our back office, meaning that we have saved you
£3 million, whilst keeping essential services such as the weekly bin collections
■ ■ South Northants is voted one of the best places to live. We pride ourselves on our distinctive rural market towns and villages which is what makes our community special
■ ■ Built a multi-purpose community centre. The Forum at Moat Lane will be a central hub for services in
Towcester, moving the Council Offices there has saved you £200,000 per annum
■ ■ Invest in our young people. We secured the UTC at Silverstone and host regular Job Clubs to ensure that our young people get the educational and employment opportunities they need to succeed.
■ ■ Prevented unwanted developments.
Through working with neighbouring councils, we have secured the future of our towns and villages by preventing speculative developments.
■ ■ Maintained an opposition to
HS2. We have been firmly against the plans for HS2 and have been working with partners to secure good mitigation for those most affected
