Open letter to Shepton Mallet




May 5th will be a crucial day for Shepton Mallet. It is a day when the voters of the town get to choose whether they want to elect a forward looking, proactive, positive group of Conservative councillors, who will work hard to bring vitality back to our wonderful town, or whether we are to return to the bad old days of negativity, in fighting, jealousy and mismanagement that was the feature of successive councils up until the Conservatives took control of Mendip Council in 2003 and Somerset County Council in 2009.

If you elect Conservatives on May 5th, we can assure you that there will be no return to debt and financial mismanagement; the council will be run effectively, providing services at a price you can afford, without huge hikes in council tax and without the annual financial catastrophe that marked the past.
More importantly we are committed to continue with the investment into Shepton Mallet that has been a feature of the last eight years, whether it be the High Street South enhancement project, our fantastic Collett Park, the re-furbished Lido, the Cenotaph enhancement project or the £2 million of investment into the Town Centre via the Townscape Heritage Initiative, your Conservative Councillors have put their money where their mouths are and made things happen in our town after over thirty years of neglect.



I am extremely proud to have been selected as candidate for the County by-election, you have my promise that I will work my socks off to ensure the start we have made will be continued, myself and my colleagues Bente Height, Jeannette Marsh and Derek Marvin will fight your corner on Mendip District Council, and all of us plus Malcolm Hale, Judy Bartlett, Simon Davies and Janet Kinison will ensure the Town Council is run properly for the benefit of us all.
There are doers and talkers in this world, we don’t need any more talkers, we need the people who will do the things that need to be done.
On May 5th make a positive vote, vote for the future, vote for the doers, VOTE CONSERVATIVE for Shepton Mallet.

John Parham
Candidate and Chairman of Shepton Mallet Conservative Branch
