Shane Bartlett

Shane was born in Wimborne and lives with his wife, Tracey and two daughters who attended local schools like himself. Shane now works in the medical industry. When he is not doing ‘Dad’s taxi service’, Shane likes walking across the Dorset countryside and reading about History.

He has served on the Town Council since 2011and in 2015 Pat Hymers chose Shane to be her successor and was elected alongside Cllr David Morgan before becoming Mayor of Wimborne in the 2015/16 civic year. In 2017 Shane was proud to be elected the Dorset County Councillor for Wimborne and Colehill West.

He saved Leigh Park playing field which was under threat of development by giving it ‘Fields in Trust’ status, led the project and secured £15,000 of additional funding for the skate park facility in Redcotts Recreation Ground. He also took the lead in the refurbishment and installation of the new pay area in Redcotts. He has achieved getting additional funding projects for Riverside Wimborne and negotiated a new building for the Planet Youth Advisory Centre after the Conservative cuts in children's services. He has used his ward budget to support organisations and volunteer groups within the community. 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.
