Read our Manifesto here<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We don’t just turn up for elections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-We are independent local candidates keeping party politics out of decisions which affect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-We care deeply about Epsom and its neighbourhoods and will work hard to protect what makes our area special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-We are proud to offer a credible, experienced and locally-rooted alternative to politicians who are more committed to their party than the people they represent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will build on our proven local track record in council leadership, standing up for Epsom & Ewell and deliver real improvements for our community<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue to work closely with community groups, charities, businesses and residents’ organisations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-our Manifesto<\/a> and covering letter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-our February newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-the Langley Vale Action Group Update <\/a>– We MUST fight on <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are local people working hard all year round for the benefit of you and all our community. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need your support on Thursday 7 May 2026 to ensure your voice continues to be heard on the new East Surrey Unitary Council. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
