Cllr Robert McLeanI would consider it an honour to represent the new Whitegrove ward, which includes Warfield Park, on Bracknell Forest Council. Why vote for me? I am passionate about keeping Warfield green, clean and safe; I have a proven track-record of action to back this up. I will always stand up for our community and have campaigned to defend our local area from unwelcome, inappropriate and speculative planning applications. I spoke out and have argued against building 2,000 houses in Green Belt at Jealott’s Hill. Whether it is protecting the semi-rural nature of the Parish, seeking to preserve, enhance and increase local green spaces and wildlife habitats, campaigning for safer roads, traffic calming or ways to reduce pollution and expand recycling, I am ready and eager to deliver on these challenges on your behalf. One example of this is that I have helped to deliver two new crossing on Harvest Ride. There is much more to do: we need more community facilities, and I am seeking ways to ensure that we have much-needed infrastructure to match local need. I also want to help local people and businesses get the support to which they are entitled in these difficult financial times. I believe that my experiences as a married father of two children, educated locally, and many years in business equip me well to serve you. I have the drive and commitment to work for you over the next four years but can only do that with your support. |
Cllr Gareth BarnardAn active Warfield Borough Councillor for 23 years and Warfield Parish Councillor for 18 years, I continue to ensure Warfield has an informed, strong voice on both Councils. I stand up for Warfield putting residents first, fighting inappropriate development, through my role on the Borough Planning Committee, and champion great community facilities. We must continue to work to deliver a Warfield ‘Community Hub’, an opportunity for the Councils to bring local services with leisure and sporting provision into Warfield, work with partners to ensure sufficiency of local health provision and good schools for our children. I regularly attend ward surgeries and support residents queries and concerns. I represent residents with commitment and integrity, ensuring we get value for money. When tough decisions are taken, I champion residents by campaigning to reduce speeding, protect green spaces and ensuring Warfield is a great place for families. Warfield Councillors have been actively involved in the regeneration of Bracknell Town centre and have delivered improvements to play areas and supported local organisations. I have also championed actions to combat climate change and enhance our local environment. A Whitegrove resident for 32 years, I am married to Emma and our children attend and have attended local schools. I’m a Garth Hill College and Warfield C of E Primary School Governor and currently chair Warfield Parish Council. Warfield’s my home and I do all I can to protect and support it for current and future generations. It is a privilege to represent Warfield. Please use one of your two votes to re-elect me, I will continue to work for you with energy, enthusiasm and commitment. Please use your other vote to support my conservative colleague Robert Mclean. |
