Councils secret plan to change parking restrictions

Tue 24th Jun 2008

As residents representatives on the Borough Council, the Lib Dem Councillors for Meadvale & St. Johns ward were absolutely flabbergasted when we found out about the parking restriction changes that Surrey County Council Highways are planning to impose on the area.

Plans kept secret

Latest Community Survey results

Sun 20th Apr 2008

The highest results from the latest analysis of hundreds of our ongoing residents surveys are still, the need for more recycling from home, the need to feel safe and the wish to save Redhill Harlequin. Your local Lib Dem Borough Councillors and Focus team members will continue to work these issues on your behalf.

Sun 16th Mar 2008

Cllrs. Steve Kulka and Graham Norman have Donated £2,000 of Council Community Award money to organisations that provide good works in Meadvale and St. Johns. The details of the five awards are shown below.

Money paid to local worthy causes

Surreys roads are slated as third world quality.

Sun 9th Mar 2008

The poor condition of the roads and pavements continues to cause concern to our residents. Recently patched pot-holes have lifted in the recent frost. The highway contractors have been continually criticised for their under performance and overcharging, but nevertheless the Tory Council have recently extended their contracts for a further two years until April 2011.

Some Surrey Boroughs will start concessionary bus fares at 9:00am.

. . but not Tory controlled Reigate & Banstead.

Bus

St Johns Pendleton Road crossing finally started.

Wed 20th Feb 2008

Graham, Steve and Anna are pleased to report that the new crossing at St John's school will be built in March. This forms part of the safe routes to school project and will be of great safety benefit to children needing to cross the busy Pendleton Road for both St John's and Reigate Schools. A very successful conclusion to a Lib Dem campaign that has been going on for more than two years.

Crossing

Tories still fail to deliver on Earlswood Common pavilion.

Thu 20th Dec 2007

The users of Earlswood Lakes have been promised a replacement Kiosk in the car park by the Tory Council for years. The excuse has always been a lack of funding. Now the story is that although the budget is available, there are no spare Council officers to manage the project. It amounts to gross incompetence by the Tory executive.
