At the West Surrey elections on 7th May, it didn’t all go the way that we had hoped, with only Catherine being elected. The second councillor for West Surrey Council’s Horsleys Ward is David Evans, from the Conservative Party.
Catherine is very proud to have been elected for the third time but admits it was not an easy election, especially after Reform (who did no campaigning in the local area) received a significant number of votes. Of course Catherine has a good record of working cross party so we know she will do what is best for the Horsleys regardless of national politics and she is looking forward to helping David get to know more about the local area and the challenges we face.
Both Dennis and Catherine would like to extend huge thanks to everyone who voted for them, and also the amazing residents who supported us through the campaign. So many people put up Boards, delivered leaflets and shared how passionately we believe in people before politics. Everyone’s best wishes and encouraging words along the way were so much appreciated, as was the tremendous help from our own R4GV team. Thank you!

Briefing on Local Government Restructuring
If you would like to support us or get further involved, there are many ways to do so:
We ask for a voluntary contribution of £25 per year – if you can afford it – to help pay for events, communications and campaigns. Unlike the traditional political parties we have no paid officials – the R4GV Group borganisation is run entirely by volunteers.
We would love to hear from you. If there’s anything you would like to bring to our attention, or anything you would like to discuss with us… or if you have any questions,
Because truth matters! There is no place for national politics in local council.
