@AlPinkerton @civicwatchblog Look forward to meeting you at the forthcoming briefing for new MPs where we can provide you with a more accurate account of what is happening in what is undoubtedly a challenging issue for all councils

In light of the recent, damning report on education services for SEND children in Surrey, I have, today, written to the Secretary of State for Education to request urgent action. Full @civicwatchblog report here: measurewhatmatters.blog/2024/07/29/mea…

It was great to catch up with @RishiSunak in @10DowningStreet in my role as conservative chairman of @ccnoffice. Discussed the key issues facing our members and thanked him for the support this year to meet our financial pressures and progress on #countydevo

A coalition of five councils has today launched a Judicial Review to challenge the decision to expand the Ultra Low Emission Zone to outer London boroughs. Find out more here: orlo.uk/oRPNH

Congratulations to @SimonClarkeMP on his appointment as Secretary of State at @luhc. We look forward to working with him on progressing county devolution and regional growth to unleash the economic potential of county areas. Read our full response: countycouncilsnetwork.org.uk/new-levelling-…

Pleased our chairman @SCCLeader could join the first weekly meeting with new @luhc ministerial team @GregClarkMP @Marcus4Nuneaton @scullyp @lia_nici earlier today with @LGAcomms. 👇

Congratulations to @GregClarkMP - we look forward to working with you again on the current challenges and opportunities facing county local authorities, including county devolution deals and levelling-up.

Great to catch up with Rishi Sunak at the LGA conference and to hear about the support the government is providing to tackle the cost of living issues we are all facing

Great speech by @michaelgov to #lgaconf22. His commitment go further and faster on #countydeals #devolution and flexible approach is strongly welcomed by @ccnoffice

@MATatBucks So very sorry Martin to hear your devastating news. No words can express the deep sorrow and emptiness we feel when losing someone so close to us. We will all be here to support you in whatever way we can.

I am devastated that my beautiful wife, Sue, passed away today. She was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer & spent her final week at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. No one could have asked for better care than she received there. After 44 years together she was my rock & my life

Great to catch up with Michael Gove and residents in Frimley Green this morning. Looking forward to working closely with him as Chair of the County Councils Network on behalf of our great Counties

We're handing out the remaining few test kits this morning & continuing to collect as many as we can. Figures as of close of business on Fri 5 Feb. Latest programme info > woking.gov.uk/surgetesting #SurgeTesting #Knaphill #GoldsworthPark #StJohns #KeepWokingSafe #Woking #Surrey

@wokingcouncil Fantastic effort from both the volunteers and residents. Thank you !

@LDRSurrey Always happy to talk through the Council agenda, motions and decisions at any point Julie

@SCCLeader Quite honestly after reading the paper and watching the meeting I’m not sure what that is

No extra funding for school breakfast clubs from Surrey getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-ne…

Yesterday at Full Council, we restated our commitment to tackling child poverty - bit.ly/3mZmi4p @SCCLeader @LewistoryMary

@WillForster Will you have jumped the gun. We have not yet heard back from the Secretary of State so you are totally wrong to say this is a failed bid. Please don’t mislead residents

At #Surrey Council’s Cabinet this afternoon - following a question from me, the Council has confirmed it spent just under £250,000 on its failed bid to become a unitary authority. It’s actions also forced Borough/District Councils to spend £300,000. What a waste of money!

@EberaKington What a shame you didn’t listen to what I said. It was you that talked about abolishing district and boroughs. Let’s see what the residents think about a more streamlined local government structure and the financial savings it would generate

The Leader of SCC has confirmed today that's he's got plans to abolish all 11 Surrey Borough & District councils to create a Unitary Authority for the whole of Surrey. Given SCC's track record on service provision some residents might need some convincing that its a good idea

Dave was a brilliant man. His family are touched by the tributes that have poured in from across the country and beyond. If you'd like to add any messages of condolence, we are collecting them via e-mail at: surreymatters@surreycc.gov.uk Thank you.

A man who couldn’t have more dedicated to improving the lives of children. The world will not be the same without him.

@exmaddecathlete @Future4Longmead @SurreyCouncil I have made it clear demolition work will stop until we have heard your petition. I will respond separately to those residents that have questioned the removal of asbestos.

Further email received today from @SurreyCouncil quoting @SCCLeader about @Future4Longmead. Raises lots of questions in itself.
