In Peter's own words

I have lived in Finchampstead for over 10 years and in that time, I have come to appreciate the rural environment, the wildlife and the friendly people.

It was to help protect the unique environment in Finchampstead that I stood for election 4 years ago and have demonstrated that I am willing to put in the time and effort to ensure we preserve this special area that we call home.

Two years ago, I fought to stop a massive care home being built amongst the residential area on Lower Wokingham Road and I pushed for the Longwater Lane development to be refused.

I have run a campaign to prevent Church Farm being turned into a housing estate and I have worked closely with the Parish Council to improve the old War Memorial junction to reduce the number of accidents.

I will also work hard to ensure Rooks Nest Farm and the delayed Barkham Solar Farm are not developed for housing.

Is this you?
