12 years this night our precious son was taken from us in the early hours of the 8th. Zane Died, Authorities Lied. 12 yrs on and no lessons learnt, no prevention of future deaths & flood alerts in play. We call for #ZanesLaw to ensure what happened to Zane, never happens again #TruthAboutZane

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

FBU EC member for South East, Joe Weir moved a motion, on Zane's Law at TUC congress on Monday. The motion was unanimously backed.

TUC affiliated unions have now joined us in the fight to get Zane's Law into legislation, for better landfill regulations to protect our communities.

@ThreshedThought It’s too late

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@SW_Help Thank you. I will submit a complaint. I always carry my pass and happy for the staff to check it on asking but not being able to get in and out of stations and almost missing trains is unacceptable especially for the vulnerable.

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@nationalrailenq I have a disabled pass. After almost 20 years of having one my disabled tickets are no longer opening many station barriers and I am always having to seek assistance to get someone to physically open the gate for me. Why is this happening? Disabled people already face enough barriers when using trains. We already have to factor in extra time. Now there is an extra physical barrier which has caused me to almost miss a medical appointment because the gates were closed at the station I arrived at and no one was around to manually to open the gate for me! I had to go looking for a human. Can you imagine a person in a wheelchair having to start looking for rail staff because their ticket no longer lets them through the barriers. People who are the least able to rush for their trains are being delayed at the entrance whilst waiting for someone to open the gates for them. What’s going on???

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@SW_Help Thank you. The disabled pass is a card which allows you to buy disabled train tickets and travel with them. So it is not the pass as I never put that through the gates. Someone at these stations has made the decision to stop disabled rail tickets from opening the barriers there.

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@nationalrailenq @SW_Help Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from @SW_Help I know my residents who hold disabled passes will also be having the same problems as me at local station Staines and others on the line.

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@nationalrailenq I can’t go through Staines station barriers anymore at all with my disabled rail tickets. At Raynes Park the barriers were up and unmanned yesterday afternoon and my disabled ticket also wouldn’t open those.

@MarkGriffin59 @Conservatives @UKLabour @JimfromOldham Given Tories control 15/17 county councils there is no political gain for Labour here just a step towards devolution, a policy started under the last Government. The last Government also postponed local elections when 2 tier authorities amalgamated e.g Somerset.

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@MarkGriffin59 @Conservatives @UKLabour @JimfromOldham Labour have nothing to gain from this. In Surrey we have made notable progress in the boroughs. Conservatives lost control of 10 it 11 of them. But they still control the county council. If elections were held next year there was a big chance they would have lost Surrey also.

I worked next to John Prescott’s office in the House of Lords for a few months. He was terribly loud especially when he was watching the footie in the office and he was quite liberal with his language. Definitely a presence. I also remember he was quick-witted, warm and human.

My enduring memory is his poor assistant having to fax all his letters and emails to his home when he wasn’t in the office as even by 2017 he didn’t know how to use email!

A very authentic individual who will be much missed 🌹

Today I went to Stanwell to honour the fallen. At this somber time each year I think about one of the most beautiful books I have read in my life - A Testament of Youth. Surely one of the most raw moving accounts of the damage war inflicted on a generation. An experience which we always pray our children will never live. #RemembanceDay #RemembranceDay2024

Grieving parents from Surrey have handed in a letter to 10 Downing Street calling for an inquiry into their son’s death.
An inquest found Zane Gbangbola died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but this is disputed by Zane’s parents Nicole and Kye.

A must read! Let’s get #justice for Zane & clean land for homes.

Great discussion at this round table on how to address the SEND crisis…funding…more EPs…senco workload…curriculum reform…inclusive practice….

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@LincolnJopp You have a veteran amongst the Conservative councillors who when I spoke to him was interested in new jobs. Maybe worth approaching them.

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@catarnold_ @LabourParty @LabourWomen4NEC @EmilyP_Smith @CharloCornell @shivanova Congratulations on your win! Your statement on #SEN access and #neurodiversity really resonated with me as a mum of a SEN child. I wish more people talked about it in politics. Of course you had my vote.

[Cllr Rebecca Geach @RebeccaGeach]

@afneil I’m a Labour Party member who is always glued to Spectator TV every week so that shows what an excellent job you must have done to bring “lefties” like me in. Sometimes I even discreetly buy the magazine!
