Thank you to everyone who attended our very busy Councillor Surgery this morning at Warren House. Lots of work for us to do relating to planning, social services and antisocial behaviour issues locally. As always, thanks to Warren House for hosting us.

A hot afternoon for Cllr Ian George and Cllr Rowena Bass, out with our fantastic team of helpers, speaking to local residents and delivering our latest newsletter. Seen here recuperating outside the Black Horse pub at the bottom of Kingston Hill. #CoombeHill #KingstonUponThames

Traffic backed up past the hospital, and hardly moving. Mainly due to lane closures caused by building work at the new development opp Kingston station. Lane closures at any time will cause major issues, but to allow it during the peak rush hours is crazy. 🚧🚗🚌🚐🚓

At the full council meeting this evening I asked if Kingston Council was still actively working with Kingstonian FC to find a new home in the borough. Apparently there might be some positive news on this in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed! #BringTheKsHome

As one of Kingston Council's 'Armed forces Champions' I attended the VJ Day 80 commemoration in Kingston this morning. Here on the Guildhall steps with the Mayor, prior to the flag raising. Then onto the well-attended service in New Malden High Street.

A big win for the mighty Bees v Man U. Obviously had a great time, but it was a perfect example of VAR sucking the enjoyment out of the game. #BrentfordFC #ManchesterUnited #PremierLeague

Still time to have your say on the Warren House proposals for 77 new hotel rooms. See the plans and a fly-through video: warrenhousepublicconsultation.co.uk At the exhibition (see photo) they advised that they expect to submit a planning application by the end of the year. #CoombeHill

A lovely evening attending the Malden & Coombe Residents' Association AGM. Very appreciative of the kind words in the Directors' Report. Great to meet everyone, answer questions and give an update on local issues. Keep up to date via our social media at coombehill.org

Dodgy selfie alert! Out selling poppies in New Malden today. Lots of people pleased to be able to buy their poppy from a street collector. A big thumbs down for the new plastic-free poppies, which aren't selling well at all. 🫤

And we're live! Our digital Christmas Campaign "The Tree of 1000 Lights" is up and ready to receive donations! xmas.kcah.org.uk A donation of just £10 brings life to a bulb, and I can assure you (because I built it), when those 1000 lights are lit, it's a beautiful sight!
