When Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesman, Councillor Jonathan Lees, addressed the "Save Epsom Hospital" rally in Rosebery Park on 14th July, he found himself following on after veteran Labour MP Jack Ashley, now Lord Ashley, a long-term supporter of Epsom General Hospital.
According to Epsom & Ewell Borough Council's latest issue of their 'Insight' magazine, "residents' association councillors work together in the council but are not a political party". This is not true.

John Phillips, who was elected as the Conservative County Councillor for Frimley Green & Mytchett in 2001, has sensationally resigned from the Conservative Party.

The Liberal Democrats in Surrey have launched their manifesto for the County Council elections on May 5th. The manifesto includes the Liberal Democrat "Programme of Action" for Surrey from 2005 to 2009 and highlights their "Top Ten" priorities for action to improve services for Surrey residents.
