Hundreds of houses to be built impacting roads & hospitals It is great news that more housing is being built across the country. However there are local concerns about the number of large developments proposed by the Government.
Surrey's Tory led Council has approved the turn off of many Surrey street lights between midnight and 5am, causing discomfort among residents who feel unsafe in a dark environment. Residents have not been consulted about specific lights in their area as the details of the streets affected will not be announced until a month before the planned switch off. Runnymede's switch off is scheduled for February 2017.
You are cordially invited to attend the Runnymede & Weybridge Lib Dems' Christmas Lunch on Sunday, 6th December 2009, 12:30pm for a 1pm start.

Lib Dems say budget fails residents:
Lib Dem Councillors on the Surrey Police and Crime Panel have criticised the Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for raising Council Tax and drawing on reserves to expand their own office's budget by 17% to £3.3 million a year, while Surrey Police will have to make do with 50 fewer frontline staff than they need to address performance issues.
The Liberal Democrats have set out a "cost of living rescue plan" that would save thousands of struggling families in Surrey nearly £1,000 this year.
Surrey County Council's hopes of getting more powers from central government as part of a County Deal lie in ruins following the publication of the government's Levelling Up white paper.
Conservatives running Surrey County Council dismissed calls by the Lib Dems to roll out 20 mph zones in residential roads and outside schools across Surrey at yesterday's Full Council meeting.
The Lib Dems have exposed an almost £50 million loss of value in just two commercial properties owned by Surrey County Council.
