Recently over 6,000 people signed a petition to demand Elmbridge Council scrap their plans to close the Cecil Hepworth Playhouse. Thank you to everyone who signed the petition and all the local campaigners that led an amazing effort which forced the Council to stop closure.
The choice by the Liberal Democrat and political "Resident Associations" that run Elmbridge Council to hit residents with the maximum rise in Council Tax could have been avoided if the administration was on top of the finances and had a proper plan to lead the Council.
After years of dither and delay the Liberal Democrats who run Elmbridge Council in a coalition with the residents associations put forward a draft Local Plan only for their own legal advice to block it as legally indefensible.
Surrey Conservatives have launched a petition calling for a change in the national roads funding formula which if successful would mean more funding for resurfacing and fixing local potholes.
