Jenny Cheng, Conservatives
First elected to Woodley Town Council in 2007, I’m experienced in responding to issues raised by local people. I want to work with Cllr Laura Blumenthal as Borough councillor and ensure South Lake residents get good quality council services.
My face may look familiar as I have served as Woodley Town Mayor for the last two years. I’m passionate about improving our town and delighted by the amazing plans to redevelop Bulmershe Leisure Centre to offer high quality facilities that we deserve.
We share the same concerns, especially about improving our bus service and protecting green spaces from further development. The Highwood and the South Lake are beautiful environments that we must cherish so everybody can enjoy their tranquillity.
