I’m Adrian Barbrooke, and I’m standing for The Green Party in the Shalford ward of West Surrey because I believe local politics should deliver practical results for the people it serves.

Full statement

My background is in fast-paced, delivery-focused environments, where I’ve been responsible for turning plans into outcomes. I want to bring that same approach to local government—making it more transparent, more accountable, and focused on long-term value rather than short-term fixes.

A key priority for me is expanding access to green energy. I support increasing grants for low-income households so we can cut carbon emissions while also reducing energy bills for those who need it most. The transition to a greener future must be fair and inclusive.

I care deeply about community cohesion—supporting local initiatives, strengthening neighbourhood connections, and making sure everyone in Shalford feels heard and represented.

I’m also campaigning to bring Surrey’s highways maintenance back in-house. I believe this will improve accountability, deliver better value for money, and result in better-maintained roads for residents.

To support younger people, I want to extend eligibility for the Surrey Link bus pass to those aged 30 and under—helping more people access work, education, and their communities.

I’m standing to deliver practical change, put residents first, and help build a greener, fairer future for Shalford.
