Statement to voters

Dear Resident, As you may know, there will be a by-election in Ashford Town ward on Thursday, 19th June, to elect a successor to Cllr Olivia Rybinski, who has moved to Cornwall with her family after a decade of dedicated service to our community.

Full statement



I’m Alex, and I’m honored to have been selected by the Conservatives
as your candidate in this election. If elected, I’ll work closely with your
current Cllr Paul Woodward and Lincoln Jopp MP for Spelthorne to
continue Olivia’s excellent work.

Before moving to the borough, I served as a councillor in Egham for
three years, where I led successful campaigns to improve playgrounds,
reduce litter, and tackle antisocial behaviour. I know how to get things
done at council, and I’m ready to hit the ground running.

One of my top priorities is supporting our high street—too many shops
remain empty. To help local businesses thrive, we need lower rates,
more free parking, and stronger police engagement to tackle shoplifting
and antisocial behaviour.

The Conservatives are your voice at Spelthorne Council, standing
strong against a coalition of Independents, Labour, Liberals, and Greens
who mishandled the finances, resulting in the council being placed into
special measures.

I ask for your vote to strengthen the opposition and ensure Ashford’s
interests are protected. I’ll be out knocking on doors throughout the
campaign and look forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts.

Best wishes and many thanks,
Alex
