The Conservative Executive of Surrey County Council have decided to withdraw large numbers of evening and weekend bus services right across Surrey with effect from September 2003. This was agreed at their meeting on the 10th of June.
Health has been in the news this week. The NHS waiting list is back to over 1 Million. We now have 250,000 managers and administrators in the NHS. That figure is more than the total number of doctors and nurses! The Government keeps piling on extra targets and launching new initiatives. Each new target and initiative needs to be measured so there is relentless recruitment of yet more managers to do the measuring. The Government is spending more on the NHS but we are not getting the benefit where it really counts, in getting people the care they need when they need it.
Council Finances Left In Chaos By Conservative Council
Pat Webster has strongly opposed the Tory County Council plan to use the brickworks site as a rubbish tip and supports the local Action Group in all they do.
Pensioners and vulnerable groups have been dealt a blow following Executive plans to axe three key benefit staff.
Senior Lib Dem Councillors are set to opt for a PAY CUT to put more money into local services. This is despite the Independent body that recommends the levels of allowances proposing a big rise in allowances this year.
