Winchester resident, Martin Tod, has lived in the city for the last 16 years and been active in city life ever since. He’s been a local councillor for 11 years and Leader of the City Council since May last year. As a councillor, he led Winchester’s work to successfully drive-up recycling rates and most recently was responsible for the decision to appoint a new development partner to regenerate the rundown parts of central Winchester. He is particularly concerned about making streets safer for walking and cycling, and led the work to close the Square in Winchester to through traffic.
