Stop Press Cllr Robert Evans: Delighted to report that Surrey County Council accepted my motion (32 votes to 8 with 26 abstentions!) to ask that the new unitary authority be named West Surrey & South Middlesex.Let’s see what happens now! @SpelthorneBC@SurreyCouncil@JacobPanons
@nocontextfm1 That is a map of 'administrative counties' 1965-1974 (bureaucratic subdivisions not genuine counties).
Here are the geographic counties, as they have existed for many centuries - and as they exist today:

A very big thank you to @LincolnJopp@_lewiscocking and #edwardargar for supporting our @MiddxHeritage proposal to include @southmiddlesex in the name of the new West Surrey unitary county https://t.co/aUiuGAGRUr
Our local history and heritage should be honoured in the name of all new unitary councils from Middlesex to Lancashire
Hertfordshire to Leicestershire

In 2027 both Spelthorne Borough council and Surrey County Council will suffer the same fate as Middlesex County Council and will be abolished.
We are gaining great support to get South Middlesex in the name of the new council. Be part of the support join https://t.co/cXii2U6ZmD
Did any of you, my friends following me, have family who fought with the 4th Battalion of the @MiddlesexReg57 at Obourg in the Battle of Mons in August 1914? It’s my intention, health willing, to make a ‘Military Pilgrimage’ there next May to pay my respects. Do let me know.
Does Patriotic Renewal mean the Middlesex flag (bought by local people) will fly over Downing St, May 16th, again, in honour of the glorious dead of the Middlesex Reg (13th Middx 👑 Westminster) who gave their lives in patriotic service to their country? This year it was refused.
Vexillology is the study of flags. Heraldic design has been an interest of mine from seeing the Middlesex crest on boundary signs and school exercise book since I was 7. My country and county flags are a part of my culture and upbringing. Fly them kindly; respect them always.
Two days to go!
Please fill in the online survey we recommend the ‘North Surrey’ option and pay particular attention to
Q 6 and Q9 please and support Middlesex’s Spelthorne heritage and history.
Surrey’s demise could see once again Middlesex arise ♥️💛
