Our candidate for the 2018 local elections is Debbie Harlow. Debbie has been a Councillor since 2014 and was formerly the landlady of the Garibaldi pub, so is known widely among residents in the area. She has been involved since in projects to that make a difference to village life, for example the hanging baskets along the High Street and supporting Knaphill Village Show.
Debbie moved to Knaphill in 2005 when she took ownership of the Garibaldi public house, and very quickly got involved with the community by joining the Knaphill Residents’ Association.
Debbie said: “I am very proud to be one of the founding members of the Village Show Committee. I am still part of the Committee and have played a very active role in the annual Knaphill Show for several years. Since being elected as a Knaphill Councillor, I have served on a number of Council Committees, including the Licensing Committee of which I am now Chairman, Planning, the Housing Task Group, and the Victoria Square Development Committee.”
The Knaphill Village and surrounding community remains very important to Debbie. She said: “I want to continue working with our Conservative Councillors Melanie Whitehand and Saj Hussain. Together we can ensure we secure the services and improvements we want so that Knaphill remains a pleasant environment in which to live, work or just enjoy life.”
