Councillors have two basic roles – firstly, to assist and represent residents and secondly, to play a full role in developing the council’s policies and in scrutinising the council and holding it to account. As Residents Association councillors we are the main opposition group at both Borough and County. We are in a joint group with the councillors in Nork at the borough level. At the County we work in a group on common interests with the Residents Association and independent councillors from Epsom, Ewell, Ashtead, Woking, Elmbridge, and Waverley.
All our councillors are proactively ensuring that the Preston Regeneration Project is successful in delivering benefits to local residents.
