Welcome to Barker Bits & Pieces

I am a Horsell resident and Liberal Democrat councillor for Horsell West. I firmly believe in sharing information with residents and ensuring everyone knows what is going on in their local area and has an opportunity to have their say. Councillors have to make decisions but they should do so following consultation with residents wherever possible.

Massive response to Bedser Bridge Petition

There has been a massive response to the petition calling for the lowering of the height of the Bedser Bridge. The petition, set up by local resident Carole Frost, has been signed by 1875 people.

Over 500 people signed the online petition and a further 1300 signatures were collected by volunteers at the bridge and in Horsell over several week.  I did several Saturday sessions in the car park and found many residents and vistor alike were concerned with the new access plans. 

The petition will now be put to the meeting of Woking Council on Thursday 8 December where it will be open to all councillors to discuss. 

Why not tell your local councillor what yout think of the plans for the bridge, designed for the convenience of WWF but at a cost of £750K to Woking Council.

You can also come along to the meeting which starts at 7pm on Thursday 8 December in the council offices.
