The public footpath outside 1, Cockshot Road is collapsing due to undermining by water, because of bad drainage.

This road has a history of bad drains.

This has been reported to SCC Highways Dept. by the Reigate Lib Dems Focus team.

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.

Lib Dem Councillors Steve Kulka and Graham Norman convinced the committee that the mast would have been unnecessary, unduly prominent and harmful to the the character of the area.

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."

Within the recent Strategic Defence Review, the Coalition Government announced that there will be no final decision on the like-for-like replacement of Trident during this parliament. This is a significant victory for Lib Dem campaigners and a fantastic example of what our Ministers can and do achieve in government.

This year's annual State of the Borough Debate at a full Council meeting was cancelled by the Tories without any consultation.

We have received lots of feedback from you but are currently denied from airing these in a public debate in these difficult times.

Issues include 'state of the roads and footpaths', 'traffic levels', 'Redhill Harlequin' and lack of progress on recycling, etc.

Every autumn Reigate and Banstead Borough Councillors are asked to take part in a debate about the state of our Borough and the meeting this year is on Thursday 30th September. As your local councillors we would like to know what is important to you, the things you like or dislike and any changes you would like to see. We can then raise these issues on your behalf at the meeting. The emphasis will be on what has been done well and what needs to be improved.
