Andrew says: “We're lucky in Elmbridge to have a strong group of independent and resident association councillors who can act in the best interest of residents without party politics getting in the way.

Full statement

​ As an Independent I will always put you and the area we all call home first. ​ I would be honoured to represent Walton South & Oatlands ward on the new East Surrey Council and commit to be a hard-working, independent voice for all residents.” ​

Andrew will: - Bring a strong track record as an Elmbridge councillor and use that experience for your benefit - Listen to you and energetically tackle your local concerns and priorities - As an Independent, Andrew will be free to focus on what matters to you and make decisions with the best interests of all residents in mind​

Andrew has lived in Walton all his life and looks forward to adding to his track record of eleven years’ previous experience as an Elmbridge Borough councillor.

During that time he worked to improve our borough, from enhancing local facilities to fighting inappropriate development, and helped residents resolve issues confronting them. Andrew sat on all the main council committees and served as Cabinet Member for Planning. With this experience he will be able to get stuck in straight away helping residents in our ward.

Andrew has previously served on the Local Citizens’ Advice Bureau Trustee Board and the Cecil Hepworth Playhouse Users’ Committee. Outside of work and local politics, Andrew is a passionate and very frequent theatregoer.
