Ann-Marie Barker and Norman Johns rail survey

Local Campaigners Rail Survey

The local Lib Dem team were at Woking station on 18 February distributing Rosie Sharpley's rail survey to early morning travellers.The survey asked passengers about how often they travel by train, how they get to the station and their experience at the station and on the train. "I look forward to hearing from passengers on their current experience of rail travel" said local Lib Dem candidate for MP Rosie Sharpley. "We carried out a similar survey last year" continued Rosie "and we found it an invaluable source of information on rail passengers' current experiences".

Surrey Cuts Hit Woking

'These cuts to Surrey County Council's services will hit Woking hard,' said Will Forster, Liberal Democrat County Councillor for South Woking, after the meeting this Tuesday that set the budget for 2010/11. 'Cuts to transport budgets mean there may be no money at all for road improvements that Surrey's Woking Local Committee have already agreed are needed. We've had a petition with nearly a thousand signatures asking for something to be done to improve the lethal crossroads at Blackhorse Road, Saunders Lane and Heath House Road, and another asking for improvements at Brewery Road. Both of these were to be made safer, but now thanks to Tory County Hall's cuts it is unlikely that anything will now happen for at least the next three years. That is unacceptable.'

Rosie now has a blog!

Rosie Sharpley is adamant that it is essential for voters to know their candidates and to have as easy a way of contacting them as possible. So, as well as face to face on the door step, local Lib Dems regularly publish magazines, newspapers and of course our local "Focus" newsletters. This website carries local, regional and national news and has a tab to the left if you want to contact Rosie or your local councillor or campaigner. On top of this, as a new venture Rosie is now trialling a blog so that people can understand her views on issues in a more personal way. You can access it here http://rosiesharpley.wordpress.com/ or by clicking on the tab in the left hand menu.

Surrey County Council fails again

The Care Quality Commission, the government agency in charge of assessing the quality of care available to vulnerable people, have rated the care services provided by Surrey County Council as adequate. This is the lowest rating awarded to Adult Services this year, shared only by another seven Councils in the country. According to the report published today, Surrey is still in need of special measures and the Council will be closely monitored by the Government to make sure services improve.
