Key Parish Council by-election for Bishopstoke (East), 29 June – how do candidates view options B and C?

ADD UPDATE, 13 June 2017: Ahead of the by-election on 29 June for a Parish Councillor in Bishopstoke (East), Action Against Destructive Development (ADD) is keen to help voters in this ward gain a better understanding of how their candidates feel about options B and C of Eastleigh Borough Council’s emerging Local Plan (namely its plans for a Monster sprawl of 6,000+ houses and a major new road north of Allbrook, Bishopstoke and Fair Oak) and any relevant action these candidates intend to take, if elected.

The three candidates are:

EDWARDS, John Peter – Independent
HARRIS, Geoff – Liberal Democrat
MCCORMICK, Tabatha – Independent

We have asked each of the candidates to supply us with up to 350 words on their views on options B and C, and on their intended actions relating to these options.  We are happy to include appropriate images and links. We will publish their statements on our website as supplied, agreeing any edits with the candidate. All statements will also appear on the ADD timeline on Facebook and on Twitter – and we will email links to each of the statements to our supporters by 28 June at the latest. 

Our email address is [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from each of the candidates on this critical issue for the people of Bishopstoke (East), and way beyond.
