NEWBURY Greens have named local campaigner and volunteer Ed Cawley as their candidate for the Newbury Town Council by-election in Clay Hill ward.
Mr Cawley lives in Clay Hill with his partner Sarah and is involved in the local community as a Cub Scout leader, a charity fundraiser and a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels.
He also has an allotment in Clay Hill.
He has taken part in two Tough Mudder events – gruelling obstacle races through mud – to raise money for Mind and Action Against Hunger, and in November he did 3,000 push-ups to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Around 17,000 patients have received their Covid vaccine at Newbury Racecourse after just one month
An army of volunteers are on hand to help combat coronavirus

THE Vaccination Centre at Newbury Racecourse has been open a month.
It first opened its doors on January 14 and in that time has vaccinated nearly 17,000 West Berkshire residents. The centre is a collaboration between nine surgeries – Burdwood, Thatcham Medical Practice, Falklands, Eastfield, Strawberry Hill, Downland, Kintbury and Woolton Hill, Hungerford and Lambourn – and the vaccines take place in the Grandstand area.
When the hub was first announced the nine surgeries put out an appeal for volunteers to help run the large-scale vaccination programme and I decided to sign up and do my bit.
