John Shaw to be new ASHTAV director

John Shaw has been appointed as the new director of ASHTAV (The Association of Historic Towns and Villages of the UK).

A long serving director of Area East of South Somerset DC, John brings to ASHTAV considerable experience of local government with particular emphasis on planning. His wide experience has given him a clear understanding of the economic and social problems facing small towns and villages.  He takes up the post following the departure of Ela Palmer through ill health.

“As an existing trustee of ASHTAV, John is fully acquainted with our activities and will be able to ‘hit the ground running’ and carry on Ela Palmer’s excellent work in raising the profile of ASHTAV and representing our members’ interests”, says ASHTAV chairman John Alexander. “His  knowledge of how local government and the planning system works in practice is of particular value to us.”
