Councillor Bennison is a Conservative Member and Cobham & Downside Ward Councillor also

Surrey County Councillor for Hinchley Wood, Claygate & Oxshott

Having been bought up in Elmbridge and lived Long Ditton during my early years and in Cobham for over 20 years.

As an Airline Pilot for some 35 years I ended up as a senior Captain with British Airways.

Some six years ago, I was delighted to be Elected as a Conservative Councillor by the people of Cobham and downside, our Elmbridge Borough Council seat. This was followed by my election as a Surrey County Councillor for Hinchley Wood, Claygate and Oxshott.

I believe this gives me a great deal of experience on how Local Government operates.

My committees are the Environmental Overview and Scrutiny, Corporate Affairs Overview and Scrutiny, and Licensing.

Licensing includes important issues such as Alcohol & Gambling Casinos licences. I have stressed the concerns that many of us have on the Casino issue and I played my part in asking for Public consultation on the pros and cons of having one in Elmbridge.
