The KRA village meeting was as usual extremely well organised with a wide variety of stalls providing information to local residents. I was particularly impressed with the police stall as the information on Neighbourhood Watch was very good as well as the stall on Sure Start at St John’s primary, a topic I have a […]

I was in Knaphill High Street as usual for the last Saturday of the month morning surgery, yesterday.  Few new issues were brought up, but it was pleasing to hear passers by making positive comments about Rosie Sharpley, Vince Cable and the Lib-dems.  People often tell pollsters that they would vote for the Lib-dems if they […]

Since the middle of 2009 I, like other Lib-dem Knaphill Councillors, have been receiving complaints about noise from the Crown public house.  I have been able to offer advice to these residents about the need to keep logs of the date, time and specific nature of the disturbance and to put them in contact with […]

On Friday 12th March I had the honour of meeting the School Council at St John’s primary school.  They are a very impressive group of students who clearly consult the class members who appointed them before expressing concerns at Council meetings. The key issues raised at the school council meeting were: The need for a […]

The remarkable answer to the question, ‘how deep does a pothole need to be in Surrey?’ depends on the depth of the road surface. At the Woking Borough Council Overview and Scrutiny committee meeting on 14th September I learnt that most Surrey roads have a surface above the base of the road of about 35mm. […]

I visited the Cabin at the Vyne in Knaphill to help out tonight, as I try to do every month.  I was really impressed with the range of activities and the positive atmosphere among the young people.  The development since the start of the youth café is amazing and a testament to the hard work […]

Ever since I was elected in May 2008 I have been campaigning to have the white lines at the junction of Barnby Road and Robin Hood Road repainted. It beggars belief that it has taken Surrey County Council over 15 months to do this, but finally the junction is safer, with fever cars approaching the […]

I met with Peter Smith manager of Sainsbury’s in Knaphill, along with a representative from Arriva the bus company and a representative from Surrey County Council, today to discuss the solution being proposed to the problem of antisocial behaviour in the Sainsbury’s car park at night.Sainsbury’s have fitted new gates to the main entrance of […]
