NEWBURY Greens have named local campaigner and volunteer Ed Cawley as their candidate for the Newbury Town Council by-election in Clay Hill ward.
Mr Cawley lives in Clay Hill with his partner Sarah and is involved in the local community as a Cub Scout leader, a charity fundraiser and a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels.
He also has an allotment in Clay Hill.
He has taken part in two Tough Mudder events – gruelling obstacle races through mud – to raise money for Mind and Action Against Hunger, and in November he did 3,000 push-ups to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Political parties will be competing for your vote at the local elections in May 2021 Campaigning politicians in West Berkshire will be knocking on doors and drumming up support for their parties during the third national lockdown. Earlier this month, the government stated political campaigners are allowed to start canvassing ” in a Covid-Secure way” from March 8, ahead of the local elections on May 6. It says individual campaigners are allowed to hand out leaflets and knock on doors, but they “should always be socially distanced and not enter people’s homes”. Campaigners are also being urged to wear face masks and wash their hands regularly.
