Purley & Woodcote

Simon, Samir and Holly are hard at work for you in Purley & Woodcote. We deal with about 40 casework items every month, ranging from missed bin collections and social services issues through to children's schooling and of course fighting for local people on planning issues.

We're making sure that Purley and Woodcote has very strong representation in the town hall.

We are delighted to meet residents by appointment to discuss any local issues; please contact us to make arrangements.
