Cllr. Colin Taylor will question RA party leaders at next Tuesday's meeting of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council (EEBC), about their plans for enforcement of yellow lines now the police traffic warden has left. Surrey Police handed over responsibility for on-street parking on April 1st.
The Brickfields Lunch Club has been reprieved, thanks to Colin Taylor. The club is run by Rethink, a charity that supports people with mental health problems. To ensure the club can continue into 2005, Colin provided more than £3,000 from his discretionary allocation as a County Councillor.
Government Inspectors vetting Surrey's plans for the 35,400 new homes demanded by John Prescott, have recommended startling changes in a report just revealed to Councillors following their "examination in public" hearings.

Surrey County Council has increased its share of council tax for 2003-2004 by 17.9%. Cllr. Janet Maines, Lib Dem group leader said: "This Tory-run County Council has got to move away from crisis management, with its ever spiralling costs, by investing in preventative measures that are good value for money and that better meet the needs of Surrey residents".

The right to a trial by jury has been a cornerstone of our democracy for over 800 years. Liberal Democrat members have passed a new plan to tackle court backlogs without scrapping juries.
Learning to drive is a vital life skill. Liberal Democrat members passed a new plan to clear the backlogs, end the rip-offs, and get the next generation moving.
