Biography

Stephen Barlow was a Liberal Democrat councillor who served from 2009 to 2017. As a retired civil engineer, his political focus was on infrastructure and public works. He was a pragmatic and detail-oriented voice on the council, bringing his professional expertise to the planning and execution of improvements to roads, bridges, and other vital amenities. Barlow's experience in civil engineering made him an invaluable member of committees tasked with overseeing large-scale public projects. He was a champion for long-term strategic planning, believing that sound infrastructure was the foundation of a prosperous community. His focus on infrastructure remains a critical topic for Ambridge, especially as the council prepares for the complex task of harmonizing the public works and infrastructure plans of five different councils into a single unitary authority.
