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 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 grew up in Chipstead and moved back here with my young family after living in London for a number of years. My wider family still live locally and I’m proud to be able to represent the area that I grew up in and call home.

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.

Having met many residents at their doorstep, I share the same concerns that we all have. My passion and my determination will help me represent you on the council to build an even better local community.

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.
