Borough Councillors

“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 a proud resident of Banstead Village, where I also work. I am keen to keep the village litter-free, with weekly litter-picking with Banstead Village in Bloom. I hope to work with businesses to reduce plastic pollution.

I have worked as a volunteer for The Children’s Trust and The Samaritans. As an active member of the Residents Association, I will, if elected, bring my experience of working within the community to the Borough Council, and will highlight the needs of 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.

As your local candidate and previous ward councillor for six years, I will ensure that all your views are heard and represented at the Council. I am a very approachable person with a passion for helping and resolving residents’ and community issues whether it’s parking, potholes or planning.

I grew up in Reigate and live in Hitchings Way with my wife (who works at Dovers Green School), son and daughter. My family live in, and grew up in, South Park and Woodhatch - I briefly played as a youngster with South Park Football Club and have many friends and colleagues in our ward too.

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 have lived in the Borough for over twenty-five years, the last seventeen as a Kingswood resident. I was chairman of the Kingswood Residents’ Association before joining the Council. I have a real passion for our communities, doing all I can to ensure we deliver better local government.
