Jane Cooper

She has been the Cllr for West Putney for 20 years & is moving over to the new Roehampton ward due to the boundary changes. This means parts of West Putney will fall into the Roehampton ward. Jane has worked tirelessly in Roehampton over the years especially on the Putney Vale Estate as Chairman of the Western area housing panel and is well known for her community work. Jane strives to improve connectivity and the local transport including places such as Alton Estate.
Jane is in favour of regeneration that’s going on in Roehampton which will make a positive impact on the community.
In her recent campaigning Jane has thought to see more electrical vehicle charging points and bicycle hangers be implemented as the Borough builds towards a greener future.
In her role as Councillor, she sits on the Roehampton Response Network & the Roehampton Women’s Network where she actively contributes to policy.
A few years back Jane was responsible, after a battle, for making Ponsonby Road one way after a request from three elderly parishioners who found it hard to cross to get to Church. In Jane’s service she has made sure that a zebra crossing was installed on Putney Heath & worked with TFL to ease traffic flow on Roehampton Lane and brought in a 20-mph speed limit which has spread to West Putney. Her ongoing commitment to safer roads has meant the speed limit in the Borough has spread throughout.
Jane has often gone to the Kings & Queens party, an annual event on the Alton. Hosted by Regenerate Rise. During her time as a dedicated Cllr, she has had the privilege of serving as Mayor three times and as Deputy Mayor twice overseeing many charitable causes and projects
