Sat 17th Apr 2010

The last few years have been pretty awful for the reputation of politicians. The deceit over the Iraq war, the failure of our MPs to properly regulate the banking system and the scandal of MPs on the take - have all left many people angry and disinclined to even vote.

Mike Simpson stands up for Badshot Lea

Sun 14th Mar 2010

Mike Simpson met with Badshot Lea Councillors recently looking around the village and the neighbouring green spaces in response to Waverley's allocation of new housing. Mike said: "I was shocked to read the Council's Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment which suggests that the village might accommodate another 950 homes. The village clearly could not cope with such growth and the level of developer's contributions would not be adequate to rectify major infrastructure problems in and around the village. In any case much of the land is unsuitable due to its frequent flooding."
