Councillor Rodney Bates

I was elected to serve in Old Dean Ward in May 2007 having previously represented the area of Watchetts between 1999 and 2003 and I am currently a Labour councillor and Leader of the Opposition Group .

My main Council interests are as follows:-
Improving communities particularly in terms of resident engagement
Dealing with issues of crime and disorder
Improving facilities and opportunities for young people
I currently serve on the Policy & Audit Scrutiny and the Licensing Committees as well as the Camberley Town Centre Strategic Working Group, External Partnerships Committee.

Outside of Surrey Heath, I am employed by another local authority as the supervisor of their community safety warden scheme. In my remaining spare time, Outside work, I enjoy playing and watching cricket and play an active role in my local church.
