Surrey Council are still planning to shut down Reigate Priory Junior School. Yesterday they ran a consultation meeting. It didn't go so well. Here are some clips. (audio only soz) #reigatepriorysos @hpp_sos
@ReigateRabbit Has the SCC leader been grappling with how he grabs wealth in East Surrey to pay for losses elsewhere? Can we ask the opposite question? Can we have an election to determine who we want to grapple with this question other than the current incumbent?
Cancelling elections is deeply undemocratic. Councillors need to be accountable to their electorate
& although unitary authorities are desirable a rushed solution without consultation & agreement risks a bodge job

@ReigateRabbit If he wants to do this & force it on us, it should come with the caveat that he rules himself out of being mayor if the option comes up in 2027-28. It would slightly soothe my nerves that forcing a debt mountain onto those who didn't cause it is for self serving reasons.
@RedhillWragg@ReigateRabbit Very true - as far as I am aware Reigate and Banstead is the only council in Surrey with Financial reserves.
They should not be used to pay of the debts of other councils in Surrey.
We need our Theatre replaced and a proper Police Station, not sent elsewhere.
@ReigateRabbit Not just SCC Leader..,
Yesterday the following local councillors all voted to cancel the election 🗳️ this May
Tory Cllrs Bennett, Beach, Kelly, Lewanski, Bramhall & Green Cllr Baart
We believe that the election should go ahead- local democracy & accountability is important
There it is - in the video I posted yesterday I noted this accelerated option that they're taking, which is TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. We need this stalled asap.
The leader of Surrey Council wants to delay the local elections in May, so that he has time to work out how to further consolidate his power... I mean, so he can manage the 'unique, significant financial risk of the level of debt currently held across Surrey local govt'
@nationalrailenq@SouthernRailUK Having a continuous social media response sadly isn’t the same as having stations that aren’t physically repellent and actually quite dangerous. Look forward to when it all freezes ☃️
Honestly @SouthernRailUK & @nationalrailenq why can’t you fix Redhill station to any reasonable state? Why have you replaced all this guttering with new plastic guttering *that still leaks*?!
@reigatebanstead@kate45248694@LoveReigate GTL fuel generates CO2 when it burns. It's not non-toxic for the planet in any long-term sense. The park is metres away from multiple sources of mains, which would mean future events could avoid emissions completely. Please find a way to run these events without generators.
“Due to the box like nature of the building it remains uninspiring and generic”
Reigate & Redhill Society are not keen on the proposed school at Woodhatch Place

@SurreyCouncil@kate45248694@reigatebanstead Just repair it! You are grossly underfunding the school.
Stop the games, stop failing the school and stop failing the children in it.
@kate45248694@reigatebanstead Hi Kate - The fencing around the Bell Tower remains in place because of ongoing structural monitoring. A further review is scheduled next month to assess whether the fencing can be removed or must remain to allow for necessary repairs. 1/2
