Reigate Liberal Democrats

Blanford Road in Reigate has been re-surfaced.

The state of the road was the strong evidence that Peter Lambell, Surrey County Councillor for Reigate Cenral needed to prioritise Blanford Road for resurfacing. He was able to convince Surrey County Council Highways to allocate the budget and put this road forward as being one of the worst roads for potholes in the area.

Nick Clegg said "We made a pledge . . . we didn't stick to it - and for that I am sorry".

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to the Parking Survey over the last couple of months.

The online and leaflet survey resulted in a huge response that will enable meaningful analysis.

The data has been passed on to the council parking team, so that it can help to influence the outcome of the evaluation.

Residents living around the junction of Clarence Road and Pendleton Road in Meadvale, Redhill are relived that an application for a new Telephone Mast has been rejected by Reigate and Banstead Planning Committee.

Much needed funding for the Harlequin Theatre in Redhill was agreed at yesterdays full meeting of the Council.

After years of neglect by the Councils Tory administration, an extra £300,000 was allocated to fund badly needed maintenance.

It was leaked during the debate that the heating engineers that turned off the system for the summer, said that it could not be turned back on in the winter without extensive repairs.

The spending review has inevitably been a tough process. Labour's deficit had to be tackled. We couldn't keep spending more than £100 million a day just servicing our debt - enough to build a primary school every single hour, or triple the number of doctors working in our hospitals.

Liberal Democrat ministers have been involved in the spending review every step of the way. Our values and priorities are written through the review. We have had to make some very difficult choices. But the review is one that promotes fairness, underpins growth, reduces carbon emissions and localises power."
