representative,
and since May 1, 2008 the party has all six councillors on Elmbridge
Borough Council, where there are two wards.
Hersham North ward is the area between the A244 Esher Road /A317 Queens Road and the railway line at
Walton on Thames and Hersham railway station
s.
Politically the ward often splits its votes between Labour, Conservative or Residents according to the candidate and popularity of the national parties. Labour
councillors were regularly elected in this ward from the 1950s until 2000, notably Paul Vanson and Irene Hamilton. A born and bred local independent Roy Green of the Hersham Village Society (HVS -founded 1980)http://www.hershamvillagesociety.org.uk/5.html
with a couple of short breaks represented Hersham North from 1979-2008.
In 2000 Roy Green's HVS took two of the three seats leaving Irene Hamilton as the Borough's sole Labour councillor, but she lost her seat to Bob Mott of the HVS three years later. HVS in turn lost all three seats to the Conservatives between 2006 and 2008,(Mary Sheldon, Ian Donaldson and Doug Packer) the first time the ward had been represented by more than one Conservative.
Roy Green's heavy defeat in 2008, which he attributed to illness and inability to canvass, was one four gains which gave overall Conservative control of Elmbridge. Independent Roy Green came bounding back at the 2009 County elections with 1,650 votes just missing the SCC seat by 70 votes and also made a strong showing in the 2010 Hersham South contest, having taken up the cause of Whiteley Village elderly residents in that ward, though Ruth Mitchell and John O'Reilly were both elected with comfortable majorities.
In September 2010, Doug Packer resigned from the Council and a by-election in Hersham North was held on October 21st. The Conservative candidate, Simon Desborough was elected with 463 votes, a majority of 10 over Roy Green, standing again in his old seat, who polled 453 votes. The May 2011 elections saw Ian Donaldson only just held on to his seat when he defeated Roy Green by just 26 votes.
In Hersham South, which extends from the village centre through Burhill and Burwood Parks right down Seven Hills Road to the edge of Cobham, the Conservatives - currently Mayor John Sheldon and Council Leader John O'Reilly and newcomer Ruth Mitchell - have regularly polled well over 50%. (Although they did come close to losing one of their seats to the HVS in the 1980s when they won by just two votes).
