Gareth Wilson

Cllr. Gareth Wilson is leader of the Liberal Democrat Group on the District Council and an active member of the Parish Council. Gareth, a Chartered Accountant is Treasurer of Haddenham Baptist Church and Treasurer of the Arkenstall Village Centre Charity. He helped set up Haddenham Youth Club and is their Chairman. He is financial advisor to the Friends of Haddenham Library and Treasurer of the Recreation Centre Charity.

As Chairman of the Asset Management committee he managed to save thousands of pounds by using our internal maintenance team to refurbish the Grange, making it totally unnecessary to move to extravagant new offices as the Conservative group demanded.

Gareth led the project to partner with Forest Heath & Breckland councils to collect council tax and now represents East Cambs D.C. on the Anglia Revenue Partnership which saves East Cambs council tax payers £170,000 per year. This year he is Chairman of the Partnership management committee.

He is prepared to work hard to keep village facilities. He will try to get more affordable houses, so that our young people can stay in the villages they grew up in.

He chairs the Parish Road Safety working party and has been campaigning to prevent the increasing numbers of heavy lorries rat running through our villages.
