The Byfleet and West Byfleet includes all of Byfleet, Dartnell Park and West Byfleet village centre. Your Conservative candidate for the Borough Council elections is Gary Elson. Gary was Borough Councillor for West Byfleet between 2008 and 2016 and is well-known for his involvement in various community groups.
Gary and his wife Suzi lived in Byfleet for more than 25 years before flooding forced them out of their home and they now live in Pyrford. Since then he has retained strong links with Byfleet and West Byfleet residents, traders and businesses and still does work for a Byfleet company so is well-versed on local issues.
Gary is a former Governor of West Byfleet Infants School and is an active supporter of the West Byfleet and Pyrford Neighbourhood Forums. During his term as Councillor for West Byfleet, Gary was appointed to the Executive Committee at Woking Borough Council and was Portfolio Holder for Promoting the Local Economy, Community Grants and Councillor Training and Development plus others.
Gary said: “It is an honour to have been selected to represent our Conservative Byfleet and West Byfleet team, if elected I promise to work hard and represent your views as residents at the heart of the Council administration.
“Together we can get the results we deserve.”
Gary is standing on a platform of protecting the Green Belt and investing in local infrastructure. For the past 10 years, he has effectively dealt with our issues as well as the highways matters looked after by the County Council colleague Richard Wilson.
