People

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 work hard to listen to residents’ concerns and take their views to the council. I have organised residents’ surveys on important issues in my ward and a community meeting on traffic issues in St. John’s.

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 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 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.

Shysta Manzoor lives and grew up in Redhill, and is passionate about community improvement, youth development, improving mental health and equality and diversity. Locally she has helped set up community projects and residents’ groups.

I feel privileged to have served as a Borough councillor since 2016.  I am always available to assist residents with local matters or issues with Council services.

Having lived and worked in Redhill for so many years, I am keen to do more for the community using my past experience as a councillor and my interest in environmental issues.  If local residents put their trust in me I will work hard on behalf of the whole community. 

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 am a proud resident of Redhill and I have always championed regeneration.
