Stephen Philpott

Conservative councillor for Peel Common

Council: Gosport

Term started: 7 May 2026

Conservative

I believe that a local councillor can make a huge difference. After 29 years representing our area, I still have the same passion, drive, and determination to improve the quality of life for the people of Peel Common and Rowner. They know that I will stand up for them, as I always have, regardless of party politics and that I will continue to do everything I can to defend our area against unwanted major developments.
