I have lived in Cranleigh for 6 years, along with my wife Fiona.

I worked for BT for over 35 years with my final senior role at BT Education. I travelled extensively around the UK working with schools, colleges and universities. My team built key infrastructure services, safeguarding, IT and hardware solutions for this sector to enable them to deliver world class learning services to all.

Cranleigh is a wonderful village, it’s growing fast, it’s vibrant and full of great people and character and that makes it so important to all of us who live and benefit from it. As with most things there is often pain along the way and my goal is to inspire and motivate our amazing team at the Parish Council to work with you our residents and businesses to deliver the best possible solutions and services for our village.

It’s a busy time as we know, there are many projects on the go, some more advanced than others but it’s important we work to ensure we get what we need to serve our community now and into the future, there needs to be investment - but the right investment.

Outside of work, interests include rugby having played for Blackheath Rugby Club, engineering - a passion which derived from my great grandfather’s lifetime involvement in motor racing and aeronautical engineering. I enjoy classic sports cars and anything beautifully designed and made.

The village is in the midst of a period of significant and ongoing change. This will inevitably place pressure on local government agencies to serve the needs of a changing and growing population, whilst fulfilling an obligation to preserve the Village’s character and environment.

As many other residents, I care deeply about the Village relative to both its past and its future. I am therefore committed to use my skills, experience and energy to help develop and preserve Cranleigh’s unique character.

As background, I was employed by Barclays Bank PLC (30 years) in a number of senior roles in areas such as Corporate Finance, Audit and Operational Risk. All roles were against a backcloth of consistent change which has given me an ability to listen and interpret sometimes competing viewpoints, to produce an agreed and sustainable plan of action.

On leaving Barclays I retrained as a Sports Injury Rehabilitator and went into practice for 6 years. This complete change of environment, to a more personal setting, re-enforced the need to deal with patients and people from all backgrounds with patience, understanding and professionalism. This is something which I seek to carry forward in my role as a Parish Councillor

I was on the Medical Team at both the London Olympics and Paralympics and have worked in Rugby Union with Ealing Trailfinders and the visiting All Blacks.

I am a member of Cranleigh Cycling Club, The Arts Centre and Cranleigh Leisure Centre.

Rosemary moved to Cranleigh with her husband and four children in 1974. All of her children attended local schools and now four of her grandchildren are currently attending the same schools. Rosemary taught science at Glebelands for 26 years and she continues to teach with Surrey County Council. As a member of the Cranleigh Baptist Church, she organised, with her husband, an open youth club for 7 to 11 year old children for a number of years. Rosemary and her family chose to live in Cranleigh because it offered a good variety of shops, a village hospital, good schools and excellent recreational facilities, but retained its village character, surrounded as it is by superb countryside.

I moved to Cranleigh in March 2006 with my wife Paula. After living in different areas of England and overseas, it is Cranleigh that I consider home and it is also where I have resided the longest.

For most of my working life I was employed in various roles within the Reinsurance industry which meant travelling extensively and for part of that time living overseas. Despite the travel I had time to be involved in volunteer work, initially with the physically handicapped and then for ten years with the mentally handicapped. I also took part in two sponsored marathons (Boston and Montreal) raising funds for the mentally handicapped.

After retiring in December 2016, Paula and I set up the Luigi Francescon Trust in order to provide financial assistance to organisations which support cancer sufferers. The trust has, for several years, supported the Fountain Centre in Guildford, it has provided equipment to the Royal Surrey mobile cancer unit and is funding research into the benefits of exercise for cancer sufferers. Recently the Trust has agreed to support a hospice by funding the role of a senior nurse for the next three years.

Cranleigh is an attractive place to call home despite the amount of development in recent years. As a Parish Councillor and Borough Councillor I want to ensure that we improve the infrastructure, transport, recreational amenities and our independent shops as the village continues to grow.

I was brought up in Ewhurst, the daughter of a farmer and a teacher and the eldest of six children. After Ewhurst School I attended Cranleigh C of E and then Glebelands and, after gaining a scholarship, the Royal Alexandra and Albert. I married at 20, had two children and have lived in Cranleigh ever since.

While my children were young I worked at St Josephs school for eight years then moved to the YMCA in Guildford, managing the youth department and then after several years there I worked for West London YMCA, managing the Youth and Community department that was responsible for providing extensive and varied youth provision across many WL communities, schools, colleges, young offender units and street work with several local gangs, as well as running the youth and community center, boxing club and gym and off site football clubs.

Nowadays my focus is my family; supporting my mother, regularly caring for my two granddaughters while my paramedic daughter works shifts and getting to know my first grandson who was born to my son and his partner this August. I am a volunteer at Knowle Park Country Park and love living in our village and enjoying all the wonderful green spaces we have been blessed with.

My family and I have lived in Cranleigh only a short time but have integrated quickly into village life. We have two little ones, the oldest starting school in the village in September.

My professional background is in housing, most recently as Operations Director for a charity in Westminster, providing affordable homes for key workers.

In addition to leading the provision and management of social and private rent housing, I have led a number of mentorship schemes within London serving youth development programmes. I look forward to bringing this multifaceted approach to my role as a Parish Councillor for Cranleigh to both positively impact our lived environment and serve the younger generation.

We moved to Cranleigh as we were attracted to the close knit community, traditional values and the beautiful Surrey countryside. I am often to be found walking in the area with my family or enjoying a much needed coffee in one of the local cafes, and look forward to serving the community any way I can.

I firmly believe that our actions today will have huge impact on all of our futures for our village, I am open minded but will speak out loudly for Cranleigh as an independent when an issue needs to be heard. I fully support our Youth Council.

I will confront issues with over development, protecting trees and saving environmental areas of importance in our village.

I have lived in Cranleigh all my life and I have worked for the local Sainsbury’s for well over 20 years. During pretty much all that time I have been the USDAW union rep. That experience has given me great insight into how to represent people and their interests and that’s a skill I can use on the Parish Council. I want to be a Councillor to help our village grow in positive ways and also make sure that as many of the people of Cranleigh as possible can get their voice heard in decisions that will affect Cranleigh’s future.

In my spare time, I am a keen archer and shoot in Guildford Archery Club over in Normandy. I’ve participated in many competitions all over the country, and always have a keen eye on my targets. I feel honoured to be able to serve the people of Cranleigh over the next years and will fulfil my duties as Councillor with the diligence they deserve.
