Cllr. Laurence Marshall

Laurence is married with three daughters and four granddaughters and has lived in Henley in Arden for six years at Beaudesert Park at the north end of the town.

For the last 25 years he ran his own company which has now been sold to a leading medical product manufacturer. Not one to be sat at home doing nothing, Laurence is keen to pursue his interest in local politics and is looking forward to representing the people of Wootton Wawen and Henley in Arden.

Laurence currently serves on the Beaudesert and Henley in Arden Joint Parish Council and he and his wife Lynda are also actively involved with Henley in Bloom.

In his spare time Laurence is a member of Henley in Arden Golf Club, enjoys keep fit, walking, playing tennis and squash besides being a member of Knowle Operatic Society and St Augustine’s Musical Theatre Company.

Laurence is keen to see Henley in Arden and Wootton Wawen go from strength to strength whilst protecting the environment and interests of the electorate.

Cllr. Stephen Thirlwell

Since I first moved to the area over 20 years ago, I have become proud to call Henley my home.

In the last couple of years though there have been issues that have started to concern me.

Vandalism and Theft

I am determined to do all I can to help support The Parish Council in getting close circuit cameras installed in the town and more importantly police visability on our street 7 days a week.

Transportation

While some progress has been made towards getting the railway crossing re-instated at the railway station, I will continue to work to get the crossing reinstated.

Employment

Over the years Henley has lost many employment sites. I supported (as Parish Councillor) the new office development that was opened Spring 2005 and I will continue to support regeneration of sites to give new employment opportunities.

As your elected councillor I will do my utmost to help protect the best of Henley and Wootton Wawen.
