Coulsdon Town
Deputy Chairman, Planning Committee
Agent, Croydon Conservative Federation
  • Association Staff
  • Councillors

Ian Parker is a member of the Planning Committee regularly opposing Croydon Labour's inappropriate developments. Ian has lived and worked in the Coulsdon/Purley area for over 30 years He is married with two children both educated at local state schools and is the former Chair of Governors at Woodcote High School He was previously a Coulsdon Councillor (2010-2014) and Deputy Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Regeneration He is a former member of Coulsdon Forum and he has been a local volunteer for the Royal British Legion for over 20 years.

Having served as a Coulsdon West and then Coulsdon Town Councillor for seven years (2010-2014 and 2018-present) he has a clear picture of the role of a local Councillor. Key is the ability to listen and respond without promising that every wish can be met. As an ambassador for Coulsdon he seeks to promote the area to ensure the town centre remains a vibrant place to shop and work. The ever-growing developments provide challenges for local public services. Elected representatives need to ensure the services expand in line with the growing population. Any developments should preserve the green belt that should be cherished for ours and future generations. As a Conservative Councillor, he seeks to ensure we get value for money from our local taxes. To do that, we need a Conservative administration in the Town Hall. Coulsdon has for too long been neglected by a Labour Croydon Council.

Our Plan for Coulsdon Town

In October last year, Coulsdon voted massively in favour of change in the Referendum for an elected Mayor for Croydon. On 5th May we have the opportunity to vote in elections that will bring about that change. Let's finish the job.  Over the last eight years Croydon has been run by Labour.
