Dr. Andrew Povey, Leader of Surrey County Council, today welcomed newly elected Tony Samuels to the Conservative Group on Surrey County Council.

“Tony was previously a Member of Surrey County Council between 1993 and 1997, and I am delighted that he has decided to return. I knew him when he was first here, and I can assure the residents of Walton South & Oatlands that they have a first-rate local representative who will work hard for them and make a worthy successor to Roy Taylor”.

Tony himself added the following, “I am delighted that the residents of Walton South & Oatlands have put their faith in me, and I promise to repay it. Roy Taylor was a great County Councillor, and a very good Leader of Elmbridge Borough Council. I know that I have a hard act to follow, but I’ve got 55 excellent colleagues to help and assist me, and I will ensure that I serve my constituents to the best of my abilities”.
