Jeremy.barber@longparish.org.uk  

Civil servant.  

Member Longparish Parish Council for over 15 years.   Chair since 2001.   Member of village hall committee.   Member of the steering committee for the school/playgroup building project.   Formerly governor of Longparish School.   Founder member of two village charities, FoLS and Playgroup (where my wife Maggie is now supervisor).    Former chair and treasurer of FoLS.   Former treasurer of Hill and Valley.   I came to the village in 1980 to work in the newly opened Andover Tax Office.   A promotion took me to Head Office in London in 1991 and I have been a commuter since then but try to work from home a day a week.

Computer, digital camera.   Reasonably good at interpreting figures and written material.

Longparish is a great village but we need to plan or we'll just drift.   If we drift the population will get older as it gets be harder and harder for people to get onto the property ladder.   The population will decrease as households get smaller and our school, pubs, shop, hall and other village facilities will come under threat.

We need to plan for changes in working patterns including those caused by the electronic revolution and changes in farming methods.

The Countryside Agency's Vital Villages initiative gives us the opportunity to plan how to keep the best and improve the rest for our village.    The timing is right because TVBC are drafting the new Borough Local Plan.

I have joined the Village Plan Steering Committee to act as a channel in gathering information from the community on the enhancements it would like to see happen in future; to ensure those views are conveyed to the appropriate bodies, and to help implement the village's desired enhancements in due course.

Retired primary school and special needs teacher. At present I manage let properties.

General communication and organisation skills. I enjoy interaction with people.    Minor computer skills. Ten years knowledge of Parish Council working with particular input on planning ,   footpaths and VDS. Member of Village Hall committee and active member of St Nicholas Wives Group.

Becoming a member of this Committee is an ideal opportunity to be part of a group that will ensure that Longparish continues to be a viable village. I see the committee as the vehicle which enables liaison with villagers- seeking their views to move the village forward in a planned and democratic way.

Parish Priest

Contacts with many people in Longparish. I know ‘most' people and am already doing a lot of visiting especially to those who may be under-represented in surveys. Also have experience of having done the “Way forward” campaign for the church recently involving similar questions.

Am very keen on reassessing what we are doing/providing etc as a village – doing nothing leads to backwards steps, I believe, as far as a thriving community is concerned.

I very much want to see how the church can combine efforts with other groups to enhance village life.

Part-time Executive Search Consultant and part-time agent for European manufacturers

Some recent understanding of planning issues through the Parish Council.

Range of normal office facilities.

I have lived in the village a long time and sense that there is now a real determination amongst a broad group of people to protect and even improve the quality of village life. I would like to be part of that process.

At the same time there appears to be a new responsive environment at local government level that will be helpful to our own village initiatives.
