26,289 That's the number of people who signed an on-line petition against Conservative plans to introduce Car parking charges at Ashford, Shepperton, Sunbury Cross and other local shopping centres across the county.

You will have recently received Spelthorne Bulletin number 95. It lists newly elected councillors in Spelthorne. The list on page 20 shows only 6 non-Conservative councillors all of them Lib Dems. However Caroline Spencer (Ashford Town) was elected in Ashford Town as an Independent. Caroline is NOT a Conservative councillor as shown.
Richard Dunn has asked the new leader of Spelthorne to overturn their previous decison to refuse to help residents fighting the incinerator scheme.
