Shane Bartlett
Born and raised in Wimborne, Shane has lived in Wimborne Minster all his life with his wife, Tracey, and their two daughters, who have attended local schools like himself. Shane works in the medical industry.
Experience
As a longstanding resident of the area, Shane cares about the people and places that make up Wimborne and he is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in. He first represented the community when he joined the Town Council in 2011 and was elected to EDDC in 2015, DCC in 2017 and the new unitary Dorset Council in 2019. He currently holds positions of responsibility on Town and Dorset Councils as chairman and vice chairman of various committees.
Shane has been campaigning for better childrens provision in our local area and has worked to resurrect the Youth cafe to create a safe space for our youngest residents. In addition, he has been working hard to improve road safety across our area with more signage around schools and 20mph zones in areas with vulnerable pedestrians. He is also pursuing a strategic plan for Wimborne which has attracted significant support and funding in Dorset Council.
Shane can often be found out and about surveying local residents to find out if they have any issues that they need support with. In addition he runs monthly advice surgeries at the local library with his ward colleague David.
Hobbies & Interests
Shane likes walking across the Dorset countryside and reading about History.
