GRANT Osbourn stands for the Labour party in Slade Lode, Chatteris.

Grant has lived in Chatteris with his wife Claire and their three children for the past 17 years and is a staunch defender of the community.

He has been a school governor for 11 years in the town, first at Glebelands Primary School and currently at Cromwell Community College.

A qualified cricket coach, Grant is enthusiastically involved with the coaching of youth cricket in Chatteris, both at Chatteris Cricket Club and Fenland District.

Grant said: “I feel it is really important to get the right mix of people on both the town and district councils in order to get a fair deal for the people of Chatteris. I am asking for your vote to be one of those councillors because I will work hard to ensure Chatteris comes first.

“I have been supported and encouraged in my candidature by two former Chatteris mayors which shows how a united front can work.”
