A little note to the younger generation... We were pleased to see quite a few young faces come along to the discussion on Ockford Park development at Aarons Hill. Keep it up. Hello Godalming Julie Armstrong Waverley Borough Council, Surrey

There is currently a 133-year waiting list for #socialhousing in rural areas. There is a misconception that people living in the countryside don’t feel the effects of the housing crisis, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Us in The Yorkshire Post 👇 yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/campaign-…

Germany is using the world's first hydrogen-powered train which emits nothing but water and steam. Meanwhile the US trusts a septuagenarian real estate developer’s “gut” over elitist, egghead climatologists and tries to prop up the black lung industry.

Taken leave from the day job for the morning to meet with residents of the ward. Sometimes there really are matters that are difficult to sort over email or would be perhaps inappropriate for a public surgery. Happy to arrange specific times either at your home or Waverley

Yes - shame on you Surrey CC! With global protests by youngsters globally, Surrey CC in its current form still thinks it appropriate to make no time commitment to carbon neutrality. It may already be too late! Speechless!

Very pleased to see (now we have the final report) that the Aarons Hill green field on the GBC side WILL NOT be allocated in their plan. If only Waverley had some fight in them...Godalming Community

'We are running out of time, but there is still hope' #DavidAttenborough is back on our screens tonight with #ClimateChangeTheFacts. Could it have the same galvanising effect as #BluePlanet? RT if you'll be watching this important programme!

Good question. Why wouldn't they? Waverley Borough Council, Surrey Waverley Lib Dems 🔶🇺🇦

An interesting read, especially in light of some issues highlighted locally in the past couple of months...
