I have hardly had time to update my blog recently with there being quite a few council meetings and my being busier than usual at work.  I have continued to work for Knaphill and will over the next few days be updating my blog.  At a relatively recent licensing committee meeting I spoke about the […]

The first series of consultation events that will help shape the Brookwood Farm Country Park and Development are soon to be underway.   The first consultation events are on Thursday 7th April 2pm – 8pm at St Saviours’ Church, Brookwood and Saturday 9th April 9am – 3pm at the Vyne, Knaphill.  Due to work commitments I […]

I along with the other two Knaphill Councillors was asked a list of questions by the Knaphill Residents Association (KRA) following an article in the local press about the Council meeting where the proposals for the land at Brookwood Farm were discussed.  It is my understanding that the Knaphill Residents Association will be using the […]

Multiple requests to clean up the state of the Queen’s Road car park seem to have been going on so long that I think they are almost at the stage of being worth called a saga.  This saga has involved many emails, photos and site visits, but finally the litter is being cleared more frequently, […]

In April this year, my wife Emily (also known as Fang-yi) took part in a Citizenship Ceremony to become a British Citizen at Surrey City Hall.  I was pleased to be able to go along as a witness to the occasion. It was an enjoyable ceremony at which a wide range of people from what […]

It was good to get back on the street again after the election on Saturday.  Diana Smith and I held the monthly Knaphill street surgery in the High Street between 10.30 am and 11.15 am. The number one issue that came up was litter on our streets.  I have passed these concerns along with specific […]

It is a great pity that despite having been fined the Crown public house appears to continue to be a significant nuisance to residents in Knaphill.  I have been keen to avoid going too far in my public views on the Crown so as not to pre-prejudice any hearing that might take place regarding the […]

It goes without saying that I am over the moon that Richard Sharp was re-elected in Knaphill, even if it is by the small margin of 21 votes.  The large turnout at 69.54% was really pleasing as it is so important that people do get involved in elected their local representatives.  I know Richard, like […]
