DISTRICT COUNCILLORS

The Kelsall Ward is represented at Chester City Council by:

Hugo Deynem, District Councillor

Hugo Deynem - Conservative Party (elected May 2007)

"The main issues raised in Kelsall during the election campaign were road safety, particularly on the minor residential roads and in the vicinity of the Co-op and the Morris Dancer, anti social behaviour and local policing. I shall be focusing on these issues and am particularly keen to assist and support the Parish Council in the excellent work they do on behalf of the residents of Kelsall. I shall be holding a regular surgery in the village and will also publish an annual review of the work I have undertaken as Kelsall's representative on the City Council.
I sit on the City Council's Scrutiny Committee for Development & Regeneration, covering Housing, Forward Planning and Economic Development, and on the Highways LJC (local joint committee), which is a joint committee with the Cheshire County Council and addresses all matter of highways related issues. I am also a member of a number of sub committees related to the Highways LJC."

 
Andrew Garman, District Councillor

Andrew Garman - Liberal Democratic Party (elected May 2006)

Andrew Garman has lived in the ward for 20 years and is an experienced campaigner on a wide range of issues affecting local people. He was elected on a platform of safer roads, improved recreation facilities and tackling anti-social behaviour. With progress being made on these issues, a fourth priority was adopted in 2007, called 'building sustainable communities': Andrew is concerned that villages such as Kelsall are too dependent on getting in a car to access shops and services elsewhere and that, as a contribution to minimising climate change and to improve access to those without cars, efforts should be made to build up local shops, services and facilities. Andrew Garman is the Lib Dem Spokesperson on Heritage and the Environment on Chester City Council.

COUNTY COUNCILLOR

The Kelsall Ward lies within the Gowy Division of Cheshire County Council.

Eleanor Johnson, County Councillor Eleanor Johnson - Conservative Party (elected on 27/9/07)

"I was honoured to win the election on 27/9/07 with an increased percentage of the vote from 2005. I have lived and worked in the area for all my life, so I am aware of many of the issues that concern local residents, but I am always very keen to hear from you with any problems that you may have. I am very pleased that Cheshire County Council was able to help fund Kelsall's Village Design Statement, this is a very important document that will allow residents to have their say on what developments take place within the village."

Cheshire County Council's website contains a wealth of information on how the County Council functions.
