Simon Butterworth
Crowthorne Parish Ward
A resident for 14 years, I run a company in Crowthorne specialising in IT solutions and support. I do not like over spending, time wasting or indecision. I am a good listener and genuinely enjoy helping people; especially if I can help them help themselves.
The influx of new people over the next few years will impact our village; and I welcome the opportunity to serve the community and keep Crowthorne the special gem it is already.
