Councillor Charu Sood is standing for re-election in Weybridge St George's Hill where she has a reputation for being a hard-working community champion.
During the pandemic, she started a local group making PPE for the NHS, ran litter picks and delivered food parcels for vulnerable members of the community. Charu has raised funds for domestic violence victims and is involved in supporting Ukrainian families arriving in the local area. Whether in the Elmbridge Council chamber or outside it, she is always working hard for her residents.
She says, "Representing our community is an honour and I have played a full part in the social, political and community life in Weybridge. I launched Weybridge in Bloom to enhance civic pride and it has been a great success and at the Council I campaigned to reverse the governing parties' decision to close children’s paddling pools and increase license fees for taxi drivers.
"I this gives people a sense of the passion and commitment I bring to the role of councillor. There is much more to do, and I ask for the opportunity to continue to deliver for this wonderful community that I feel so fortunate to call my home."
This year’s local elections will be crucial for Weybridge. We can continue with a Liberal Democrat and Independent-controlled council which has failed to get to grips with the council’s finances, allowed the garden waste collection service to collapse, and threatens our recovery by introducing Sunday parking charges in Weybridge.
Or you can elect a new Conservative council that will boost our shops and you with 30 minutes free parking, develop the plan to regenerate Weybridge Hospital and put in place a plan to prevent overdevelopment in our town.
