A Greener Bagshot!

Councillor Meurig Williams inspects the local verges in Bagshot which have gone to rack and ruin

The new Conservative leader says he wants to get some green credentials so as to "march the Conservatives onto Liberal Democrat ground".

While this is flattering, we wonder if the residents of Bagshot want as much greenery as the Conservative County Council seems to think they should have!

Councillor Meurig Williams (who represents Bagshot on the Parish Council) said "While hiking our council tax, Tory Surrey County Council have AXED the number of times our green spaces are cut every year - so you get less service for more money!"

"Many residents have contacted us and said that the lack of service has turned what used to be pleasant grassed areas into ugly, weed filled eyesores, which are now a magnet for litter and dog dirt."

"The Conservative County Council has ignored all calls for this problem to be tackled. By contrast local Liberal Democrats managed to get a litter-covered verge clipped and tidied, as this turned out to belong to the local Housing Association who were quick to respond and get the work done."
