So the new team of local District Councillors are holding regular surgery meetings and the first will be at the Ship and Bell in Horndean on Monday 1st July between 7pm and 8pm.
Councillors from all the 5 wards plan to attend so there should be plenty of opportunity to raise issues about planning, housing, parking, bin collections, council tax and more.
While Brexit isn’t in their remit the current topic of Boris – V – Jeremy is something you might also like to pose…
Even if you don’t have a pressing issue why not join them for a drink and say hello!
A certain anomaly in that this was promoted as ‘meet your councillors from all 5 wards’ but in fact the only councillors who seem to have been included were the Conservative councillors, old and new. All wards should mean all wards and should have included Murray Ward’s neww Liberal Democrat councillor who didn’t know anything about the meeting till I expressed disappointment that she had been unable to attend
Despite my previous comment it was really pleasing to meet two ne young councillors. Both of whom, in answer to my asking what had made them decide to stand as councillors, said that they wanted to give something back to the community. It is my belief that we have a younger generation coming through who are demonstrating a real commitment to making this world a better place
