Surrey Heath News

HGV Chobham update: Further to my recent update, which you can read here, there have continued to be some problems surrounding enforcement. Carole Mancini and I have, therefore, written again to Cllr Matt Furniss, Cabinet Member for Transport & Infrastructure at Surrey County Council, to ask if he can offer any additional assistance with resolving these ongoing enforcement issues. I will be sure to include his response and any more updates in future newsletters.

Surrey Heath Age Concern's Walk on the Wild Side: SHAC is a brilliant local charity which brings so much joy to older people in my constituency. I am delighted to learn that the great people at SHAC are organising a sponsored five mile walk – A Walk On The Wildside – on 26th September, and I have no doubt the event will be a great success. The money raised will go towards enhancing the already stellar service the charity provides, and you can learn more about the walk and how to register here.

Esso Pipeline update: I have been keeping in close contact with Esso regarding the installation of their Southampton to London Pipeline, and they have recently provided an update, which you can read here. Whilst a date and time for a public meeting with residents, representatives from SHBC, and Esso, has yet to be agreed, I will be sure to share further information as soon as I have news. 

Surrey Heath Borough Council Afghan Refugee support: I am pleased to report that SHBC are working hard to provide homes for Afghan refugees, and you can read an update on the situation here

Silver Sunday: This year, Silver Sunday falls on October 3rd, and I am very much looking forward to hearing what events will be being taking place in care homes in Surrey Heath. You can read my Facebook update to find out more.

Elmfield House visit: I was hugely grateful to Elmfield House care home in Bisley for welcoming me at the end of July. I was honoured to hand out certificates to the deeply dedicated staff and it was great to speak with Elmfield’s brilliant manager, Niccii, who has worked at the care home for over 7 years.

Surrey Heath Museum visit: I had a fantastic time visiting Surrey Heath Museum at the end of July. There is so much fascinating information to digest, and I can't wait to visit again soon and learn more about the vast historical significance of Surrey Heath. You can read more about my visit here.
