Campaigners from the Weald Action Group outside the Supreme Court celebrating their historic judgment in June 2024.

*Cringe* I have started a blog. Thanks @ruthtingay.bsky.social for the encouragement.

The first post looks back at my landmark Supreme Court win last June and the ripple effects it's still having.

Read the 2nd Annex letter here mycouncil.surreycc.gov.uk/ieListDocume... via @YourBanstead on the Other Place

Draft letter proposed by Tim Oliver to the Minister of State for Local Government and Devolution. Highlighted passage "I am therefore writing to ask you to exercise your Ministerial powers to lay the necessary legislation to postpone the county council elections in Surrey, which are due to take place in May 2025"

The leader of Surrey County Council wants to delay the local elections in May, so that he has time to work out how to further consolidate his power... I mean, so he can manage the 'unique, significant financial risk of the
level of debt currently held across Surrey local government'

Charities and pop-ups could be offered short term leases on Surrey shops A new idea could see charity shops and pop-up stores coming into vacant units to help cut council bills

Reigate council spends £619K on upkeep of empty commercial properties each year. Maybe local councils should stop pretending to be property developers? Creating even more loss-making charity shops doesn't feel like a great solution, but I don't know what is. www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-...

Flooding in Horley, because of Thames Water's faulty sewage pump

A fun start to Advent at Reigate on Ice this morning. Very glad of the roof as protection from the rain!

Watch out for the sea lions (and the slush on the far side)

Maybe it’s an art project: “how to manage neglect”

It is quite a skill to manage a station this badly

Great news: Redhill station has replaced the rain gutters that were leaking all over Platform 2 stairs. Less good news: they still leak

“Reigate on Ice” - Fireworks in Priory Park

Did you draw the cock n balls Gary

These are delicious from Chalk Hills Bakery- wish they made them all year round

Someone has dragged a load of mud through the grass to look like a huge er male member

Happy giant dick n balls day to all who celebrate

So many questions but I’m still not going on Facebook

I assure you this is a rabbit

I don't know what this gig is, but is that a KEYTAR ⭐🎸🎹⭐

Not true. It was a state school when he went there. While he was there, it became a fee-paying school. All the state school children continued to attend without paying fees. I asked the school directly: x.com/ReigateGramm...

I know. It drives me crazy. Both local and county councils have significant numbers of Green & Labour councillors. I don't understand why they can't resolve it. Local markets are *great*. So are the events in the parks. They *do not need to burn fossil fuel* to make them happen.

Reigate council are still justifying burning fossil fuels at every event in Priory Park. They need to find a way to run these events from the grid. The park is hardly a remote setting.
