Your current Councillor – a conflict of interests Your current councillor represents both Borough and County Councils - creating a conflict of interests on the Drake Park and Weylands plans. She is also Deputy Mayor, and if she becomes the Mayor of Elmbridge in May as expected, will she have enough time to fulfil her responsibilities and represent your interests at council level? Chris’ Top Priorities for Walton
- Better accountability and control of Surrey finances
- Provision of care for the elderly and vulnerable
- Protection of green belt and open spaces
