Tom Blomley
Green Party candidate for Spencers Wood & Swallowfield
I was born and grew up in Farley Hill and moved back to the parish in 2008 after working 20 years in Africa in international development work. I am passionate about environment and climate issues and have been active in Swallowfield in support of helping set up a community orchard in Riseley and supporting broader conservation initiatives. If elected, I aim to work towards better public transport, improve cycling infrastructure, support greater tree planting across the borough and help the most vulnerable with the cost of living crisis
