Our Primary Purpose

Our primary purpose is ‘to represent the interests of the residents and owners in respect of all matters affecting the Wentworth Estate. So aside from the special events and benefits, being a member also allows us to keep you aware of any key issues that may affect our unique Estate through our informative quarterly newsletter or from this website. These include traffic mitigation and the monitoring and resisting of continued external threats, such as the ongoing development of the Longcross village and the proposal to develop 71 houses on half of a site north of Trumps Green. It is vital for every resident to be aware of, and have a voice in issues affecting us today, from significant local area construction plans to potential road and airport developments, which are often of a strategic and sensitive nature.

John Tenconi

My family have lived in the Estate for more than 40 years. During that time there have been many changes to our village amenities almost all for the worse and none for the better. I care deeply about the preservation of our village style of life and am an active member of the Neighbourhood Plan strategy committee.

I previously served for 2 years as secretary to the WRA during which time I worked on the updating of the WRA Constitution and exploring ways for the WRA to encourage closer cooperation with Wentworth Club, the WERC, the Tour and better engagement with Estate residents, who are not currently members of the WRA. In my current role as chair, I have set up a Traffic Mitigation Forum with our local and county councillors to engage with officers of our local Councils in an attempt to mitigate the effect of intrusive developments following the approval of the RBC Local Plan. I continue to work to engage the entire Estate in the WRA's work for the benefit of the Estate and its residents

I am a lawyer by training and have spent many years in senior roles through my corporate finance and private equity practices. During this time I have been since 2007 an Approved Person and latterly a member of the Senior Insurance Managers regime under the auspices of the Prudential Regulation and Financial Conduct Authorities

John Pyle

Since 2005, my family and I have called Virginia Water home. Professionally, I am a Chartered Surveyor with over 35 years of expertise in planning and commercial property, alongside being an avid golfer for many years. Recently, I transitioned from a 20-year tenure as a member at Wentworth Golf Club to join Queenwood.

My involvement in community affairs is substantial. As the Vice Chairman of the Wentworth Residents Association since 2011, I've been deeply engaged in local issues. Additionally, I serve as Chairman of the Virginia Water Neighbourhood Forum and sit on the committee of the Wentworth Roads Committee. My primary focus lies in developing the Neighbourhood Plan, which empowers the Virginia Water community to shape its future, counterbalancing the influence of external entities. This plan not only aligns with the longstanding planning policies of the WERC but also fortifies them against potential challenges.

My dedication to transparency, governance, and fiscal responsibility led me to join the Wentworth Roads Committee. I advocate for the implementation of a comprehensive Code of Conduct to ensure proper oversight and accountability in our community initiatives.
