THE PERSONAL WEB SITE OF CLLR IAN HARVEY, FORMER LEADER OF SPELTHORNE BOROUGH COUNCIL AND COUNCILLOR FOR THE SUNBURY EAST WARD. MEMBER OF UNITED SPELTHORNE GROUP

Ian has always been a committed conservative supporter and voter. Shortly after marrying Helen they moved to Lower Sunbury where they have lived for the last 23 years. Ian and Helen have two school age sons.

Ian was first elected a Borough Councillor for Sunbury East in May 2013, and re-elected in 2015 and 2019. Ian has always taken a special interest in Ward issues. Ian has always worked closely with local residents associations and is particularly strident in his determination to protect Kempton Park from unwanted development.

Ian was elected Leader of Spelthorne Borough Council in February 2016 and pioneered and leads the groundbreaking investment property policy which has revolutionised our local authority funding. For the last three years this has protected Spelthorne from having to make cuts to services or draw on reserves. The Council, under Ian’s leadership, is now turning its attention to addressing the housing needs of Spelthorne residents. Ian continues to be committed to the residents of Lower Sunbury. Sadly as a result of internal forces Ian was forced to leave the Conservative party in June 2020 but still holds “conservative” values

When time allows, Ian is a keen photographer and also enjoys skiing, boating and travelling.
