Cllr Frank Kelly (Merstham, Hooley & Netherne)

“I am Derek Allcard, and I have lived in the area for 18 years with my wife Gillian, just down the other end of Lonesome Lane.“I’m an engineer by profession, and having recently retired I have the time and enthusiasm to work as your Councillor if elected in May.

A lifelong Surrey resident, I have lived in Reigate since 1980. I am married to David, and we have one adult son.

I’m a family man who lives and works here. I care about the people who live here and the place we live in. I want us to get value for money from our council services and see our money spent wisely. I’ll listen and help resolve your local issues.

I am delighted to have had the opportunity to work with and represent the residents and businesses of Banstead over the past 7 years as your Councillor.  If elected again I will continue to support local events and always look for ways to help improve our fabulous Village.

I am very proud of my record as a councillor. I have consistently worked for the needs of the community I represent. I have championed the needs of all residents, resulting in substantial improvements.  I have also been active in representing our needs with neighbouring councils.

As a Merstham Councillor I have successfully campaigned to target council investment into Merstham including the new Merstham Community Hub. I established the Merstham Community Facility Trust, with the support of local residents, which continues to deliver vital community support activities.

I have represented the Village since 2006 and sit on the Borough Planning Committee to ensure your views are heard and concerns are openly dealt with.  I intend to continue in this role to use my professional knowledge, skills and experience for the benefit of all residents of the Village.

I have lived in Tadworth for most of my life and have got to know and understand the issues confronting residents. Working with my fellow councillors and local businesses, I want to ensure Lower Kingswood, Tadworth and Walton becomes an even more special place to live and work in.

I am an experienced Councillor, Vice Chairman of the Planning Committee and Chairman of the Reigate Heath Steering Committee. I support the YMCA and serve on several of their committees.  My aim is to keep trying to improve and maintain all the good things for all local residents.

I have lived in the wider Tadworth ward all my life and have been a Tadworth resident for twenty-six years. I have been engaged in local politics since I was a teenager and am determined to preserve our wonderful communities through hard work and co-operation with my fellow councillors.
