We are sorry to bring you the sad news of Andrew Davis’s death on Sunday 10th January in Princess Alice Hospice.
Andrew had been a Liberal/Liberal Democrat for over 42 years and councillor for Weybridge on Elmbridge Borough for eight years, first for Weybridge North and then, when ward boundaries were re-drawn, for Weybridge Riverside. He also served in the Council as a Cabinet member, the Leader of the Liberal Democrat group and as the Deputy Leader of the Council.
Many of Andrew’s political activities were inspired by his life-long passion for the environment. This resulted in a number of pioneering initiatives such as Green Transport Week, National Car Free Day, Walk to School Day and 20’s Plenty, several of which gained national and even international recognition.
Gill Smith, one of the Weybridge Focus team and Chair of Elmbridge Liberal Democrats said: “We all remember Andrew as a phenomenal campaigner and an utterly dedicated Liberal Democrat, as well as awesomely energetic and an altogether fascinating human being. We are deeply grateful for his massive contribution to our party’s work in Elmbridge and particularly in Weybridge. We have lost a much loved member of our Liberal Democrat family and he will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.”

Deepest Condolences to Andrew’s Family and Friends on his passing.
Sad to hear that Andrew has passed away. He was a warm, caring person, and a dedicated councillor. Our thoughts are with his family. Lesley & Mike Head.
I would like to pay tribute to Councillor Andrew Davis. I was one of the many recipients of his local news emails – my only link with him. His communications were outstanding and the very best example of how an elected representative can remain close to his constituents. I extend my condolences to his family and friends.
The Liberal Democrats and the Council have lost a real giant. We have known Andrew for many years and although we are strong Liberal Democrat supporters
we have never been able to keep up with Andrew. We will miss him as a friend and a Leader. Our condolences to his family and friends.
So sorry to hear that Andrew has passed. He will be missed. Our condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
I am really sorry to hear the sad news about Andrew. He was a good man and good for Weybridge.
May he rest in peace.
