Cllr Robert Johnson
Chairman of the Council
Biography
Robert Johnson is a Reform UK councillor for Ambridge Heath, serving until 2029. As a business owner, Robert brings a pragmatic, "no-nonsense" approach to local government. His focus is on Local Business, specifically reducing the tax burden on independent traders. He believes that the current council has become too bogged down in bureaucracy and needs to return to the basics of supporting the local economy.
Robert is a vocal critic of the proposed expansion of the unitary authority's central offices, arguing that the money would be better spent on improving local infrastructure. He is a veteran of the local bowling league and is well-known for his direct, often blunt, communication style. He sees himself as a guardian of the taxpayer's money, always looking for ways to streamline council spending.
