Robert's priorities
1. Supporting local businesses.
Free training and mentoring for small businesses, help with public-sector tenders and digital skills - visit businesswaverley.co.uk for details.
2. Action on the environment.
Godalming Town Council has cut its carbon footprint by 28% in six years and was shortlisted by the National Association of Local Councils for its climate response. We've introduced River Wey water-quality testing, backed No Mow May, and planted new wildflower areas.
3. Community events and local spirit.
We brought back the Godalming Fireworks in Farncombe - a sell-out in 2023 and 2024 - at no cost to the Council. Our parks and public spaces are better maintained than ever thanks to the Town Council's own maintenance team.
4. Youth Services Restored.
After years of cuts of Tory-run Surrey County Council, the Town Council stepped in. Our Broadwater Park Youth Service is providing after-school and evening sessions for dozens of young people every week.
5. Affordable homes that really are affordable.
We've fixed the Government's broken definition by lowering "affordable" rents to 65-70% of the market rates locally - so local families can actually live here.
Robert would love the opportunity to represent the residents of Farncombe & Catteshall on Godalming Town Council.
Vote for Robert Marshall! Remember, election day is on a Tuesday, Tuesday 25th November.
