Committee Profiles — This page is under reconstruction


Graham Lomas, President

Graham first became involved in local issues when the Coulsdon Green Belt Action Group was formed in 2005 with the remit of raising funds to buy Woodplace Farm Fields.  After a successful campaign the fields were handed over to the City of London and are now open to the public. Graham was chair of the Neighbourhood Partnership organised by Croydon Council from 2005-2007. Graham is a founder member of the Friends and took over the Chair in 2011. Under Graham’s leadership the friends have become involved in a wider range of projects to raise the profile of the North Downs, of which Farthing Downs is a valuable part. Graham was appointed President at the 2025 AGM.

Councillor Margaret Bird, Chairman

Margaret is a Vice Chair of the Council Licensing Committee and serves on several children, young people and families groups.  She is an Academy Councillor at Oasis Academy Byron and Vice Chair at Davidson Primary.  Margaret is a founder member of the Friends of Marlpit Lane Bowling Green who campaigned succesfully to keep the Bowling Green in Coulsdon Memorial Park open by using volunteers.  Margaret joined our Committee in June 2015 and was elected Vice Chairman at the November 2015 AGM. Margaret was appointed Chairman at the 2025 AGM.
