Many thanks to numerous Ashtead residents and visitors who came to visit our stall at yesterday's Ashtead Village Day. Our soft toy tombola was very popular and raised funds for three local charities - the Epsom Foodbank, Ashtead Youth Centre and Leatherhead Children's Centre.
Mole Valley residents face a further year of Conservative policies following a rescue by the Ashtead Independent Group at the Annual meeting of Mole Valley Council last night. At the elections earlier this month the Conservative administration lost its overall majority as a consequence of a swing to the Liberal Democrats. For the first time in a number of years the Liberal Democrats polled the largest number of votes across Mole Valley indicating that the electorate were looking for a significant change in policies and direction.
Local Liberal Democrats have taken the initiative to secure value to the community for the future use of Headley Court. At their instigation, Mole Valley District Council has taken steps to ensure that any future owner of the site understands the value associated with on-going employment at the site, with a full quota of affordable housing in any residential development and with future uses which retain the centre's expertise in rehabilitation and use of the specialist facilities for their original purpose.
Liberal Democrat Councillor Margaret Cooksey has launched a campaign to prevent Surrey Police closing the Police Desk at Pippbrook in Dorking. Announcing her proposal to raise this issue at the next Mole Valley Council meeting, Margaret says:
The UK needs to strengthen both our Armed Forces and our soft power.
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.
The UK must once again stand tall, leading on the world stage and working closely with those who share our interests – including, above all, our partners in Europe.
