Ian Parker

Coulsdon Town
Deputy Chairman, Planning Committee
Agent, Croydon Conservative Federation

Ian has been a Councillor in Coulsdon for 12 years, currently serving on the Licensing, Audit & Governance Committees and the Corporate Parenting Board.

He has served as Deputy Chair of the Planning Committee proudly playing my part in turning down inappropriate applications in Coulsdon and elsewhere.

Previously, Ian was a Governor at Woodcote High School including a period as Chairman.  Both his children went to Woodcote schools in the locality of where he has lived for nearly 30 years.

Under the Coulsdon Town Councillors’ watch we have seen the retention of free one hour’s parking, increased opening hours for Coulsdon library, the opening of the popular Banking Hub, the long overdue Medical Centre (coming soon!) and the extension of the lease on the much used Community Centre.

Coulsdon is a great place to live and work.  Ian would welcome the opportunity to continue to serve ALL residents whatever your political persuasion (or none!) to the best of his ability.
