David Catlin
For over 25 years, I’ve lived next to the Box Moor Trust estate, exploring its moors and footpaths with my dogs. Having recently taken early retirement from my design and space planning business, I’m now eager to engage in community initiatives.
With a pragmatic approach from running my own company alongside experience with FTSE strategic plans, I aim to enhance the Trust’s work – particularly in improving accessibility for all. My years in designing public retail spaces have ingrained strong health and safety instincts.
If elected, I’m committed to nurturing this cherished open space for our community.
Manifesto
For over 25 years, I’ve lived on the edge of the Box Moor Trust estate, enjoying daily walks with my dogs across its moors and footpaths. This beautiful space is a treasure, and I’m committed to ensuring it thrives for all. Having recently taken early retirement from my design, space planning and merchandising business, I’m eager to channel my energy into community initiatives, building on the Trust’s great work.
My vision is to further enhance accessibility and awareness, ensuring everyone can enjoy this wonderful landscape. I’ll bring ideas to make this a reality and am excited to collaborate with the Trust’s team to implement them.
My business experience equips me to evaluate financial aspects with pragmatism, ensuring realistic and sustainable decisions. Having contributed to strategic propositions for FTSE companies, I’m a forward-thinker who values a solid plan.
Health and safety is second nature to me, honed over decades in public retail spaces. I understand the importance of safe, welcoming environments and will prioritise this in all initiatives. If elected, I pledge to listen, innovate, and act with dedication to preserve and enhance this precious open space.
The Box Moor Trust estate is more than land – it’s a community heartbeat. I’m committed to nurturing it for current and future generations, ensuring it remains a source of joy, connection, and pride for all. Please support me in shaping a vibrant future for our cherished estate.
