Paul Wood is one of our three Elmbridge Borough councillors representing Hersham and is Deputy Chairman (Political) of Esher & Walton Conservative Association.

Paul believes the past year has presented huge challenges and local government must rise to the challenge of helping society to recover. He believes that local services will always be under finance pressure, so councillors must focus on delivering excellence and efficiency. Before retiring, Paul held senior roles within major businesses, and he will work closely with Hersham's Conservative councillors and our MP to provide a joined-up service for residents.

His priorities are Hersham's shops, local environment, listening to residents and delivering value for money.
