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 […]

My wife and I booked a table at the Lightbox for Valentines this year.  I have to be honest and say that they did a really good job and surpassed expectations, the food was better than ever and the entertainment from Aiden Kent was excellent.  He sung a much wider variety of songs that I […]

I have not been able to blog in recent weeks as I have been very busy at work and something had to give.  We have had the Ofsted monitoring visit we have been waiting and waiting for – with no notice and so I finally have some time to get back here. I hope it […]

On Saturday 12th December I met up with another local Community Speed Watch volunteer to carryout a Speed Watch in Bagshot Road.  Pleasingly as soon as we set up our signs cars noticeably slowed down along a busy stretch of road. Sadly we still found 10 cars to be speeding over an hour long stretch […]

I was pointed in the direction of an excellent website by Lib-dem MEP Catherine Bearder this week, which makes it clear that so much of what we read in the press about the EU being bad for Britain is simply not true.  It was very interesting to read about the fact behind the fiction. Such […]

I popped down to the Knaphill Community Day this afternoon, but missed all the fun.  It had closed up early due to the weather.  I can’t say I blame them as the rain was turning to snow when I arrived.  I was hesitant to go having been in bed ill for the last two days, […]

With the Lisbon treaty finally signed, Europe can stop focusing on its own internal political structures and more on effectively governing and delivering solutions to transnational political issues.  One of the strengths of the Lisbon treaty and why I am very much in favour of it, is that it makes clear the powers and responsibilities […]

On Saturday after I had finished running Saturday detention at school I went over to see the Rainbow Warrior – Greenpeace’s famous ship in Docklands.  As a member of Greenpeace I had an email last month inviting me to visit the ship and take a tour.  The Rainbow Warrior is moored in Docklands, London on […]

Cllrs Ric Sharp, Diana Smith and I were in Knaphill High Street between 10.30am and 11.15am on Saturday 28th October to talk to local residents about issues that concern them in Knaphill.  Residents were generally happy, but the usual concerns regarding the cleanliness of streets and the need for leaves to be picked up and […]

On the evening of the 5th October I attended the Woking Cycle Form as a representative of Woking Borough Council.  It was pleasing to see a Conservative Councillor also in attendance for the first time I can remember.  I was not able to stay right to the end as I had a diary class as […]
