Emma Ware

Chairman of Epsom and Ewell Conservative Association

 

 

Epsom has been a part of my life for many years; from driving out to the downs as a child at the weekend to being lucky enough to move here 15 years ago. I have spent those years living in the Epsom Town & Downs division. I have experienced Epsom as a commuter, a mother and a business owner.

I spent my early years in the Army, I then worked in the city in finance until I left to start a family. My three children go to Wallace Fields Junior school where I have been a school governor and PTA member for many years.  I am currently studying for my Law degree while volunteering in the community to help where I can during these difficult times. I am proud to say I am also a director of Invicta Academy, a charity that has worked with Epsom College to provide free online learning to children across Surrey. 

I genuinely love where I live and have been at the forefront of campaigns to get a café and facilities in Alexandra Park and move polling stations out of local schools. I am also a very keen cricketer having kept wicket for Surrey. When I moved to Epsom they didn’t have a ladies team so I started one and now they have many Surrey players of their own.

I want to be a councillor so I can carry on working in the community, be a champion for residents and get the things done they want done. I want to protect our beautiful rural areas, I want to be a coherent voice for keeping services at Epsom Hospital, I want to bring imagination to the high street as it recovers from the pandemic. 

But I think to be truly representative you need  to listen to residents and not get entrenched in a single vision that’s why I will hold the borough council to account and work hard to oppose their entirely unsuitable plans for high-rise developments in Epsom.

I feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of Surrey and would be so proud to represent the people who live here.

Message from our Chairman

Dear Members,

This summer brings a cautious (and hopefully irreversible) optimism that is usually signified by the herald of spring. There is no doubt that the last year and a half has tested and challenged every one of us in every role in our lives.

What’s gone wrong with our allotments?

Local Conservative campaigner Emma Ware has asked the Residents Association-controlled Borough Council to sort out the problems allocating allotments.
