Email: cllr.shailain.shah@hertsmere.gov.uk
Shailain is the Vice-Chair of Hertmere's Audit Committee and is the Chair of Hertsmere Shareholders and Investment Committee
With a background as a financial adviser and a Bushey resident since 1987, Shailain is dedicated to preserving the town's greenbelt and protecting its unique character. He opposed the draft Local Plan development proposals that would have resulted in the loss of over 160 acres of land at Little Bushey Lane and Farm Way. Shailain is committed to fighting for the removal of these sites from any future Local Plan.
In addition, Shailain is deeply concerned about the continued closure of Bushey Country Club, which remains inaccessible to the public after five years. He will spearhead efforts to restore public access to the grounds immediately and advocate for comprehensive plans to revitalize the site.
