GUILDFORD DRAGON I had a great chat with Martin Giles of the Guildford Dragon last Friday. We covered a huge range of topics– from my childhood all the way through to getting to know the new constituency of Godalming and Ash that I will be standing in at the next election. Do take a moment to watch a more local and more thoughtful interview than I am normally able to give!
CONSUMER COUNCIL FOR WATER DROP-IN FOR RESIDENTS After the last public meeting with Thames Water I followed up with Mike Keil CEO of the Consumer Council for Water (CCW) to ensure constituents are properly represented. Mike and his team offered to come to Surrey on Friday 3rd May from 9am to 11am at the Wilfred Noyce Centre in Godalming. If you have any questions or concerns about the service you receive from your water company, do stop by. They have said they will offer advice to anyone with unresolved issues relating to their water or sewerage services, including those affected by last November’s water supply disruption in parts of Guildford and Godalming.
SUPPORT FOR CANCER CAMPAIGN With my aches and pains now gone from Sunday’s Marathon, I’m excited to promote an altogether more relaxing evening for the Cancer and Surgical Innovation campaign. The Farnham & Bourne Choral Society’s next performance is Mozart Requiem on Saturday 8th June www.ticketsource.co.uk/fb The society is supporting the Royal Surrey Charity so please do come along if you can – it looks set to be a magical evening.
…AND MORE SUPPORT Also in June is the Rotary in Godalming’s charity dinner in support of the campaign. It will take place at Guildford Rugby Club on 21st June – tickets are £50 and include a delicious 3 course meal and some fabulous entertainment including live music, a spectacular magician and a latin dancing demonstration. Please email Anne Gray on [email protected] for more information or to buy your tickets.
CHARLIE’S PROMISE Take a look at Charlie's Promise website, launched as a charity by the Cosser family following the devastating death of their son Charlie last year. It is dedicated to helping the fight against the rising issue of knife crime:

MILFORD MINI ROUNDABOUT Great to speak to Cllr Phoebe Sullivan about the Milford mini roundabout and Station Lane. I have said I will prioritise getting the Atkins report regarding highways and will continue to stay in close contact with her about what improvements can be made for the area.
GODALMING VISITS Last Friday I attended a series of events in and around Godalming, including a brilliant public meeting in the Wilfred Noyce Centre on Friday night. Thank you all for your time and lively questions. If you didn’t make it but would like to attend the next event, please do email me on [email protected].
