Tony Walton publishes Caversfield leaflet

BaECON member Tony Walton, who is standing for election to the Cherwell District Council on 3rd May, has published an election leaflet explaining why he has decided to stand as an independent in this year's elections.

Eco-Town is election battleground

According to the Bicester Advertiser this week, the Eco-Town is set to be a battlefield in this year's elections for Cherwell District Council.

The Bicester Ad reported that the Tory candidate for Caversfield in the election is against the plans, and that he has been "... allowed dispensation to go against policy and vote accordingly." Unfortunately the other councillors in Cherwell District Council seem dead set on pushing through the plans despite the wave of opposition from local people and those consulted on the plans!

BaECON Members to stand for election

Two of BaECON's founder members have decided to stand as independent candidates in the forthcoming elections to Cherwell District Council, which will be held on 3rd May 2012.

The Caversfield Ward includes the villages of Bucknell, Ardley with Fewcott, Bainton and Stoke Lyne, while Bicester North includes both Bure Park and Southwold estates.
