Cllr Thomas Ashby

Witney Town Council West Ward Town Councillor
District Council Candidate for Witney West ward

Hello, I'm Thomas and I am proud to live in West Witney with my family and have done so for the 23 years of my life.  I attended West Witney Primary School, The Henry Box School and undertook 2 Apprenticeships delivered by Abingdon and Witney College.

After 4 years of delivering for you as a Town Councillor, I have decided to put myself forward as a candidate for the District Council, as I believe I can deliver even more as a District Councillor.

I want to pay tribute to our outgoing Councillor, Harry Eaglestone and thank him for his tremendous service for us in West Witney over the past 16 years.

I am focussed solely on delivering the best for the community, this is shown through my voluntary work as an Assistant Scout Leader and as a Local School Governor.

West Oxfordshire has a very special place in my heart, therefore it would be the ultimate privilege to be able to serve and deliver for you on West Oxfordshire District Council.

Please support me with your vote on Thursday 4th May and feel free to contact me: thomas.ashby99@gmail.com with any local issues or concerns.

The planned upgrades would include:

In one last hurrah before he retires as a Councillor, Harry Eaglestone’s hard work and determination has led to trees being planted back into Edington Square in Deer Park, Witney.

Involve residents in High Street future
