Green Cllr in Redhill on local + Surrey County Council. Friend of Furnistore, against Gatwick expansion. For a better future.
Was it a coincidence that Network Rail removed their objection to Gatwick expansion just before their Chairman, Lord Hendy, became Rail Minister?

How did Gatwick model a massive shift to public transport lead to £££ to widen the
A23(M), instead of new rail capacity?

So far Leader has only committed to 'ring fence council reserves'. Need a temporary venue for theatre and funds commtted to rebuild and reopen.

Without that the promise may turn into a figleaf and get steamrollered by local govt reorganisation (sorry probably some mixed metaphors here).
