Runnymede Manifesto 2020
Environment The rate of recycling needs to be improved
Environment The rate of recycling needs to be improved
Along with potential cuts affecting a range of services across the county, Surrey County Council are considering the closure of the Recycling Centre in Lyne, Chertsey. This is a busy tip which serves Chertsey, Egham, Virginia Water & surrounding areas. Since charges for domestic DIY rubbish were introduced and then closure of the site 2 days a week there has been a marked increase in fly tipping in this area. Fly tipped rubbish is cleared up by Runnymede Borough Council at a cost to us the tax payer. Closure of the tip, the only Reccyling Centre in Runnymede, will result in more fly tipping as well as an increase of traffic as people journey to other recycling centres such as Martyrs Lane in Woking and Charlton, Shepperton, which already have long queues. We must fight for the centre to remain open to keep this important facility. Please support saving the Centre by signing and sharing the petition. Many Thanks https://www.change.org/p/surrey-county-council-save-lyne-recycling-centre?recruiter=206635011&a

Runnymede Liberal Democrats Manifesto 2018
Prominent Lib Dems in Surrey have declared their intention to lead the fight against a decision to allow exploratory drilling for gas and oil at a site at Loxley, near Dunsfold in Waverley borough.
Surrey Police closed over 29,000 cases last year without even identifying a suspect, new analysis by the Liberal Democrats has revealed.
Surrey Lib Dems secured agreement from Surrey County Council at its meeting on 12 July that it would look again at how best to coordinate public engagement on climate change projects such as the installation of electric vehicle charging points.
A Surrey Lib Dems' motion calling on Surrey County Council to declare a cost-of-living crisis emergency in Surrey was voted down by the Tory administration at its full council meeting yesterday. One of the proposals put forward was for Surrey County Council to hold a county-wide summit to bring together a range of organisations that are involved in advising, supporting or providing financial help to residents who are experiencing hardship. The aim of the summit would be to find ways of better coordinating services; identify any gaps in provision and see what more could be done to ease the cost-of-living pressure on vulnerable residents.
Lib Dem Councillors have criticised Stagecoach over cancellations and cuts to key bus services in Guildford and Woking.
Lib Dems will be calling on Surrey County Council to declare a cost-of-living crisis emergency in a motion they will propose at the full council meeting on 12 July.
