has represented Barham Downs Ward since 1995,
and has been County Councillor since 1989.
In both 1992 and 1997 Martin stood for parliament
for the Canterbury Constituency. He taught

“As a rural councillor I am concerned
with improving services to village residents,
especially with
regard to controlling the volume and speed
of traffic. One of my main interests is Neighbourhood
Regeneration. As County Councillor I take a
keen
interest in the Youth Service and played a
part in obtaining a detached youth work project
for
Canterbury. Another main interest is the preservation
of the district's countryside, and I have worked
actively to preserve and enhance the Kent downs
AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). |
