Charlie Haynes - Chairman
Many generations of my family have lived in Old Marston. The Haynes family owned farms; the land has now been used for housing such as Horseman Close estate. Haynes Road and Raymund Road are named after my Uncle. My Father was a Parish Councillor for 20 years.
I have lived in Old Marston all my life. I am married with two grown up children. I attended local schools and on leaving I was employed in the retail trade for 32 years. In 2001 I took early retirement. I am a volunteer at Oxford Police Station assisting in the property department one day a week.
For 22 years I have been a member of the Old Marston Parish Council and in 2000 I was elected as Chairman prior to which I was Vice Chairman. In 1984 I was elected on to the Mortimer Hall Management Committee and was involved in the fundraising for the refurbishment that took place, I am now Vice Chairman. I am also Chairman of the Old Marston Charities, Vice Chairman of OXSRAD. Recently I have been appointed as Governor of St Nicholas School.
Being involved in many local organisations over the years has given me the opportunity to have an impact on local issues making Marston a better place for us to live .
