County Councillor Colin Taylor has welcomed news of almost £6,000,000 extra for schools in Surrey, including over £500,000 extra for schools within the Epsom & Ewell constituency, particularly for Epsom Primary School, one of the three primary schools in his county division where he serves as a school governor.
In advance of the formation of a Community Development Trust (CDT), an open day is to be held at Horton Chapel on Saturday 22nd October, 12noon - 3pm.
The party in charge of the Borough Council, the RA Residents' Party (which has 26 of the 38 councillors comprising the council), has set its Key Priorities for the next four years.
Surrey County Council has announced today that it has failed to meet its target to deliver a Superfast Broadband service to almost 100% of residential properties in Surrey. Furthermore it is planning to drop this target following a county council report which has revealed that 15,300 Surrey properties in the Intervention Area are unable to access Superfast Broadband. The county council's plans to increase the number of premises able to receive Superfast Broadband will not achieve 100% coverage and will take two years to deliver.
It will come as no surprise to head teachers and many parents that provision for children with Special Educational Needs (SEND) in Surrey has been heavily criticised by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission.
Commenting on the Ofsted SEND inspection findings in the letter sent to Surrey County Council, Cllr David Goodwin, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson on Schools, said:
As liberals, we believe that true equality is achieved when individuals are not only free from prejudice and discrimination, but also free to fulfil their potential. So fighting for LGBTQ+ rights is not a choice Liberals make.
The Liberal Democrats' bold plan to restore UK leadership in science and innovation will drive investment, boost global collaboration, and ensure technology benefits everyone, not just the privileged few.
Reflecting on the year’s International Women’s Day theme of “accelerate action”, I am sadly reminded of how much more we still need to achieve.
