Cllr Michael Haines is Chairman of Chipping Campden Town Council and an ex-officio member of all committees and working parties.

Born and bred in Campden, he left to find work in 1964 and was lucky enough to be able to come back in 1994. I was privileged to join the Town Council in 2007 to try to put something back into the community that I and my family have enjoyed for so many years. Interests – preserving and enhancing Campden's heritage and character, maintaining a sustainable balance in Campden's community through employment and housing at a cost local income levels can meet, promoting Campden to encourage greater business & employment in the town, re-establishing transport links. Challenges – completing a Neighbourhood Development Plan to protect Campden from rampant developers, a car park to support local businesses & tourism, the removal of heavy traffic from Church Street and High street in particular where it is causing structural damage to the historic buildings.

I've lived and worked in Campden since 1975 and have been a Town Councillor continuously since 1984. Town Councils have limited powers, especially over planning, but the powers and representation they have in other places can help. In that representational role I have been elected by the Northern group of parishes to the Conservation Board and the County Association of Parish and Town Councils. Like the majority in the Town I am opposed to large developments, we do need affordable housing for younger people as well as job opportunities. The work of the Parish Council is essentially to ensure that the provision of services are here for us all to enjoy, no matter what age or income. I cannot promise you to wave a magic wand and create the community you want, indeed that would be impossible because we all have slightly different views. But I can promise to listen to all sides of the argument and do my best to represent you.
