Alison Kelly

Alison  has lived in Epsom since 1986 and prior to her election in 2023 had been a Borough Councillor for 8 years serving on Planning and Finance Committees.

From 2007 to 2015, Alison was the main opposition spokesperson on budgetary and financial policy. Alison became involved in local politics to protect our open areas and gardens because of her dismay at the number of planning decisions that were changing the landscape. Alison welcomes this opportunity to be directly involved in deciding local planning issues. Alison is particularly interested in promoting energy efficiency and recycling and is keen to ensure that the borough exceeds targets and meets residents' expectations. Alison also enjoys fitness, gardening and volunteering locally.

She is on the following Council Committees: Community & Wellbeing, Financial Strategy Advisory Group,  Strategy & Resources, and the Shareholder Sub-Committee.
