Nelson Mandela
PETER OSULLIVAN has lived, with his wife Pat, in the Meon valley for over 30 years. They have two
children, Abi and Ben, who went to local schools before going to university.
With a Masters in Social Science from Cambridge University Peter initially pursued a career in youth and
community work leading to a director-level role in Social Services in the North East. Peter was tempted to
Hampshire to get a job with IBM, initially training IBMers to use a new computerised office system. He then
built a second career (in the UK and internationally), with IBM, KPMG and with his own company - helping
organisations to realise the opportunities offered by the rapid developments in technology. As IBMs executive
responsible for the education sector in UK, Europe, Middle East, and Africa, he became a leader in how
technology, and other organisational changes, can improve the quality and accessibility of education and
learning for all.
Peter has also undertaken development work (mostly voluntary) in schools in the UK (where he is a founding
trustee of one of the first chains of academies), and in Africa and India.
Peter is an ambassador for heritage and culture and is known in the Meon Valley for his voluntary work in
engaging the communities of the Valley in discovering, and bringing to life, its history and heritage. He has
attracted grant funding, expert support and resources; he has mobilised hundreds of volunteers; worked with
our schools; created opportunities for, and engaged in campaigns in support of, children and older people;
and in improvement in transport service, broadband and in support of small businesses and landowners.
Peter is the inspiration behind The Meon Valley, A Journey of Discovery; a DVD which has sold over a 1000
copies in a year.
People of all ages have contributed to, enjoyed and learned from these activities.
WHY I AM STANDING FOR ELECTION
I believe the Meon Valley communities deserve, and should get, more attention and resources from local
and national government and its agencies.
They do not seem to recognise the special characteristics & needs of the Meon Valley communities
If elected, I will work with Parish Councils and community groups, and with colleagues in Winchester City
Council, to ensure that communities, small business, schools, families and individuals are properly
represented, listened to, and supported.
MY PRIORITIES to listen and to represent you in making a difference in
- EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION in governmental decision-making and resource allocation
- EDUCATION, LEARNING AND CULTURE accessible to all ages and abilities
- SMALL BUSINESSES - development & retention
- OLDER & LESS-ABLE PEOPLE, AND FAMILIES accessing & enjoying health care & other services
- SUPERFAST BROADBAND AND OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE
- PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE & A32 TRAFFIC CALMING
- YOUNG PEOPLE fun & job opportunities
- HOUSING balanced & social development with genuine CIL (community-infrastructure-levy)
opportunities
- REFUGEES - encouraging opportunities to welcome those who come to Winchester
Peter is a family man who makes time to enjoy cultural opportunities, bike riding, rowing, swimming, rugby
and cricket. He is again raising money for charity through his personal triathlon - the London NightRider 100
km bike ride, the London Great River (rowing) Race and a SWIMATHON
Q: Do you have any chance with Jeremy Corbyn?
A: I dont know, I have not yet asked JC (or the Pope) to sponsor my Triathlon
