So sad Mole Valley Libdems supported £600,000 extra 'unexpected costs' approved for Dorking Halls and are planning on kicking out an established business to store beer kegs for the council run bar - while traders say Leatherhead High Street hasn't been properly cleaned in months.

6 Reports this morning of a Code 6 (dumping a double mattress with white sheet sill installed in a public place) at the top car park Ashtead Rec - did you witness the dump ? Do you know anyone with a mattress that could have done this ? Keep em peeled
People are fed up with National Politicians of all Parties. I'm being contacted by residents across Mole Valley who want local Independent candidates for the forthcoming elections. If you want to stand as an Independent and save your area from control by the Party whip, please DM
Great work by the Ashtead Independents Alley volunteers clearing brambles which had reduced the size of the footpath alongside the A24 by half in places. Thank you for your help.

Before and after ...
These are discarded 3G football/sports pitches.
There are 20,000 ground-up tyres on a single full size 3G pitch. Tyres spontaneously combust, especially during a heatwave. This is why you no longer see farms with tyres holding down the tarpaulin covering their hay bales. This practice was banned decades ago.
But why are they being stored on a farm? Probably because there are no government protocols for sensible disposal at end-of-use and the farmer was paid a good sum for "disposing" them by the contractor who ripped them up for an even higher amount.
It would be interesting to know how many 3G pitches were replaced in the local area and who ripped them up.

Does anyone think having a car club of just two cars shared between 270 new properties is enough to create a sustainable development of a field of wheat 1.7 miles from Ashtead train station and was until recently Green Belt land ? ashteadindependents.org/
Murray's Court planning appeal result received - Appeal has been Dismissed. Residents and Ashtead Independent Councillors say thank you to the Planning Inspector for running the process so fairly.
Thank you to the team who have helped today to keep this footpath near The Greville School in a tidy condition. #AshteadIndependents Alley Action

Is it no wonder that LibDem run Mole Valley is planning inflation busting hikes to Council Tax and fees when it misses out on implementing a big rent review and then promptly sells the property to the tenant...Leatherhead Advertiser article :
LibDem run Mole Valley fails to implement a big rent review on a key property & then quickly sold it to tenant! 1st investigation slated. Loss for residents c£1 Million. LibDems knew for months. Reports were confidential, but Ashtead Independents have battled on & got this public

Great news yesterday for campaigners in Ashtead Surrey. Mole Vale Council has refused an application to confirm the commencement of a plan to build a plastic pitch on cherished Ashtead Recreation Ground. Well done to campaigners fighting these harmful #plastic developments

Ashtead Football Club has been refused their application for a certificate of commencement of their planning consent. This was decided by Council planning officers, not Councillors, in a Decision Notice dated today. So the old permission has indeed lapsed.
Please see our website for the publicly available Council report which was considered at an open meeting of the Scrutiny Committee and is behind the BBC News report on the risk of Mole Valley Council going bankrupt under the LibDems. @BBCSurrey

2 years ago LibDem leaflets said they were soundly running Mole Valley Council. Now - as BBC News reports - an experienced, impartial senior Council Finance Officer has confirmed our worst fears. LibDems must stop pouring money into their pet projects!
