Cllr Dineke van den Bogerd

Ward: Capel, Leigh, Newdigate & Charlwood

Liberal Democrat Member

Dineke has been living in the UK for 30 years and since 2002 in Mole Valley. She came from the Netherlands on a 3-year secondment as IT project manager and never left!
As self-employed baker she had dealings with MVDC on matters of food hygiene and trading standards. Her involvement in the organisation of the Capel show has brought her experience with the council on waste disposal issues.
Her track record of involvement in public life, as current Capel show committee member and former Churchwarden, gives a good idea of how she likes to serve her local community. She is still involved in church life as environmental advisor to the local church council, which under her guidance recently adopted a Zero Net Carbon pledge for 2030.
She managed the installation of a ground source heat pump for the 1859 end of terrace she part-owns. Solar panels are on order and should be installed before the summer. Insulation of the Victorian cottage is an ongoing project. It will therefore come as no surprise that environmental issues will be high on her agenda in all future endeavours.
Also on her priority list are improvements to public transport, well thought out bicycle infrastructure and dedicated well-maintained pavements. Like many she uses the public highway in various ways. Walking, cycling, driving the car and horse riding (the motorbike was sold 15 years ago) are all in the mix. She is therefore aware of the different challenges for various road users.
