Paul Follows
Paul Follows is standing for re-election to Waverley Borough Council and Godalming Town Council.
Leading Godalming and Waverley councils since 2019, Paul is keen to protect services that our councils should provide after years of cuts and has worked hard with colleagues from across the political spectrum to achieve this.
He has been finding innovative ways to offer important new services, such as the Youth Service, public transport and training, while ensuring the council is financially stable, and hopes to expand on this if elected again to lead the council for the next four years.
Elected also to Conservative-run Surrey County Council in 2021, Paul has been helping to keep funding flowing to Godalming alongside a group of Waverley Lib Dem colleagues.
