Legend has it that during the First Crusade to Jerusalem in 1098, St George appeared as a vision to lead the Christian knights during a siege. About 100 years later, King Richard I fashioned his army's uniform on the cross of St. George. #StGeorgesDay
Farnborough Airfield is high on the agenda for Craig Card - Knellwood Liberal Democrat campaigner. As a former Rushmoor councillor Craig has on many occasions raised local residents concerns over flight numbers through Farnborough. When flights return to normal your Liberal Democrat team will continue to monitor the situation and listen to residents concerns.
A national politician has hit out at the need to stop hundreds of thousands of tonnes of sewage and waste water ending up in the sea off Seaburn and Whitburn.
Paul Kennedy, Liberal Democrat candidate for Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner, has challenged the Conservative candidate's claims that her links with Conservative Ministers will somehow deliver more police funding for Surrey. Experience shows that Ministers just take Surrey Conservatives for granted, preferring to channel extra funding to "red wall" seats in the North.
Local MP Tim Farron has written to Health Secretary Matt Hancock, asking him to drop proposals to merge the Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Royal Preston Hospital.
Happy St George's Day. We are flying the Cross of St George at both Borough Hall and the Old Town hall today to celebrate England's national day.
