I am a Conservative Hersham South Ward Councillor.

I have lived in Hersham for over 20 years, and have been privileged to be one of your representatives since 2005. I am committed to promoting Hersham's interests and our many local community services and try to be vigilant on inappropriate planning and development. Along with my fellow Hersham South Councillors, Ruth Mitchell and John Sheldon, together with Mary Sheldon, Ian Donaldson and Doug Packer in Hersham North, we strive to be a united team always at your service.

In May 2010, I was elected Leader of the Council, so the buck really does stop here! It is a huge honour to be able to serve in this position, and work closely with our outstanding team of Officers, colleagues in the Cabinet, and fellow Councillors.

Essentially, the role of the Leader is to:


- Present the 'big picture' of what is happening in the Council and our future direction
- Have overall responsibility fore the Revenue & Capital Budget and deliver the Annual Budget Statement
- Establish the Council's key priorities and policy issues
- Chair the Cabinet and present the Forward Plan of work

I am also a member of the North Area Planning subCommittee.

Please don't hesitate to call me if you are a constituent and have an issue or problem with Elmbridge Council. My home number is 01932 253090.

News in Hersham

Application for Hotel at Hersham Golf Course: Details of this proposal can be found at http://www2.elmbridge.gov.uk/Planet/ispforms.asp?serviceKey=SysDoc-PlanetApplicationEnquiry

I'd be very interested in hearing the views of Hersham residents (many have already submitted representations to the Planning Department). Being a member of the North Area Planning sub Committee, I am not able to express any personal opinion at this stage, but would welcome your comments.

564 Bus Service: After the tireless effort by residents of Whiteley Village, and supported wholeheartedly by all the Hersham Borough Councillors, and Margaret Hicks, our Hersham County Councillor, the news is extremely encouraging. The recommendation to the SCC's Cabinet is that the 564 should remain a half-hourly service, and only moving to an hour for a short period in the mid-afternoon.
