Lib Dems take "Hands off our Back Gardens" signatures to the Government

College Ward Councillor Julie Morris took nearly 1000 signatures from Epsom residents to Minister Hazel Blears's office on a wet and windy day recently. Local residents had signed Cllr Anna Jones' petition supporting the national Lib Dem "Hands off our Back Gardens" campaign, which seeks to reclassify back gardens as "green". Currently they are treated as brownfield sites and therefore available for redevelopment!

Surrey County Council News

Tories deny Surrey residents the right to petition the Council

The new Lib Dem team at County Hall dived straight in today, putting forward proposals to give Surrey residents the right to present petitions to the Full Council. For the first time this would allow residents direct access to its most important decision-making body. The intention was to make the County Council more democratic by bringing it into line with the many other councils across the country that already give their residents this right. The motion was proposed by Eddie Owen (Guildford East) and seconded by John Doran (Horsell). However the proposals were voted down by an alliance of Conservative and Labour councillors, so Surrey residents will continue to be denied the rights available to residents in many other parts of the country.
