A special meeting of Spelthorne Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee is to be held to look closely at the proposal for a so-called Eco Park at Charlton Lane. Sunbury and Halliford Liberal Democrat Councillors have been asking for this meeting since December last year and only now have the Spelthorne's Conservative majority allowed a public meeting.
The recent Spelthorne Borough Council meeting was a defining moment in the run-up to next May's local elections. It showcased the clear dividing line between the Conservative administration and the Liberal Democrat opposition.
In August 2009 Liberal Democrat Councillors met with senior Council officers concerning the Planning and Development Control department. The Lib Dems submitted evidence that the department was failing to do its job properly resulting in poor decisions and appalling customer care that was badly affecting both residents and Spelthorne's environment.
Every year at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) Spelthorne Borough Council elects the Chairman and Vice-Chairman for the various Committees. This year was different.
We would like to thank everyone who voted for the Liberal Democrats in Spelthorne for your support. This is the third election in a row in which Lib Dems have made substantial progress - the national election in 2010, the county elections in 2009 and the borough elections in 2007 - a pattern that we intend to continue.
