HENLEY INDEPENDENTS - striving to improve the JPC: October 2009

Misleading Information about Grants

Unfortunately the JPC's own website, shown below, is one year out of date. The application form shows the parish clerk as Karen Parnell and the download criteria shows the parish clerk as RP Hill, both of whom left last year!

As a direct result of an article in Henley NEWS On-line, the errors above were swiftly corrected.

About HENLEY INDEPENDENTS

The Henley independents have long campaigned for a simpler and more cost effective way of managing our Joint Parish Council.

A number of benchmarking surveys have been offered up to no effect, even though they demonstrate how a simple management system can operate successfully. Harbury and Tanworth in Arden are good examples.

Without a majority, the Henley Independents are powerless to implement the changes that would enable more of the precept to be spent on the many deserving organisations in Henley. We will continue to play a full and constructive part in the council and will try to convince our fellow councillors that there is a better way.

We will also campaign tirelessly throughout Henley to ensure that at the next election the electors will be fully aware of what a leaner more effective council would look like.

Mike Willmott - Chairman Henley Independents
