Surrey's roads put ahead of Spelthorne's flood defences, schools and surgeries Tories have recommended spending £5m of this levy to plug Surrey County Council's continued underinvestment in roads above the needs of Spelthorne's Schools and Doctors Surgeries, which desperately need funding

Anger at Council’s Communication Strategy
You would think that one of the prime responsibilities for a council is to communicate with its residents and yet, at the Full Council Meeting of Runnymede Borough on 4th March 2021, a document was signed off by the Conversative administration that commits to minimal engagement with residents who live in Runnymede.

Lib Dems lead the way in recycling
Lib Dem's are showing themselves to be the best at tackling the climate and ecological emergencies while the @Conservatives have once again decided not to invest in increasing recycling rates. This fact is based on the new @DefraGovUK figures that show the @LibDems lead four out of five of the councils with the highest #recycling rates. In comparison Conservative led Wiltshire Council's current recycling, reuse and composting rate is just 45% (end of March 2020). Their contractor Hills Waste Solutions manage and collect all the waste and recycling from Wiltshire residents. Hills Waste are also submitted in partnership with Northacre Renewable Energy (NREL) the revised and highly controversial plans for an incinerator at Westbury. Seems Hills Waste and NREL don't have a drive to improve their rcycling rates. Vote Lib Dem in the local elections if you want your area to be the #BestatRecycling
