Bagshot, Windlesham, and Chobham
Your Councillors: Simon Browne and Richard Wilson
Councils across Surrey are riddled with debt. It is clear that we need people with business experience to fix the mess the Conservative administrations have left.
Our Lib Dem team on Surrey Heath Borough Council has saved 19% of the council’s budget under severe financial pressures.
Simon will be a great addition to the new council and has got extensive experience working in the construction industry. Richard has been part of the Lib Dem council helping to reduce Surrey Heath Borough Council’s debt, whilst flying an A380 airbus.
Together, we will build the new council on efficiency and accountability to ensure we can deliver the best services for you whilst managing the Conservative debt.
