 Welcome to my blog. I am a former local journalist who now works in PR and a Conservative and community activist in Woking and Horsell. This blog will keep updated on local issues as well as my interests and quirky news stories.    |
It's no good looking down on Woking – people want a dialogue! I went along to the Community Question Time held at HG Wells on Wednesday night, which promised to allow residents the chance to quiz members of a panel including WBC chief executive Ray Morgan on matters of interest within Woking. It [...] Anyone fancy a stroll around this? Thought not. This year’s Horsell Garden Safari in aid of Horsell Village Hall will be held on 19 and 20 June, which just happens to be the week before our wedding, so that kind of rules me out of opening up our garden, as I had hoped [...] I received a letter when I got back from work this evening with some very exciting news – Jack Straw has confirmed my appointment to the Commission of the Peace for England and Wales and – subject to some induction and training days – I will begin sitting as a magistrate in Woking from [...] I’m really sorry about the lack of activity during the past week or so. I’ve been so busy with wedding preparations, various evening meetings and doing my CIPR diploma that it’s been difficult to find the time in the evening to update. I have a mock Critical Reasoning Test in at the beginning of [...] Earlier today, Woking Borough Council officially announced that it had purchased Wolsey Place Shopping Centre following a decision on February 2 to become sole owners. The cost is £68million, which has been financed by the Public Works Loan Board. The aim of the purchase is twofold – to invest in an asset that will [...] I did say that I would return to the subject of the Carthouse Lane Allotments, although the target date for this application is not until the middle of February. It won’t be heard at the planning meeting on Tuesday – the agenda for that is now published. Horsell Residents Association met on Wednesday evening [...] Back in the spring of 2007, I watched Francis Maude give one of the most unimpressive performances on Question Time that I’ve ever seen. The background for this was the announcement that the Conservative Party intended to commit to the idea of rewarding married couples through the taxation system. His answers were defensive and [...] On Monday evening, I hosted Horsell Village Horsell Trustees and this clashed with both the Conservative group meeting and the Christmas panel meeting for Horsell of Surrey Police. I did however pop along to the first 25 minutes of the latter before dashing back home for HVH because I think it is important to [...] Another furiously busy long weekend. I spent most of Friday working on campaign items, followed by a branch meeting of Horsell and Woodham in the evening. Yesterday, my other half and I spent most of the day in the kitchen – more of which later – followed by helping out and attending the Carol [...] I really did have an unpleasant journey walking back from work on Wednesday evening. My route takes me back through Woking Town Square, past the council offices and over into the Brewery Road Car Park. From there, I go up Chobham Road and cut through Wheatsheaf Road/Orchard Drive onto Grange Road. But on Wednesday [...] |
