Thank you to all those who supported me to be elected as a Reigate Ward borough councillor.
I want to do a good job for the area I love, and I can’t wait to get stuck in.
For now, I’m looking forward to celebrating the rest of the Coronation weekend. Long live the King!
🚨 Important update below on proposals to move the Reigate Priory School to Woodhatch Place 🚨
I will continue to do everything I can to represent parents and residents in Reigate in relation to this application.
My objection to the latest Priory School planning app 👇
I know I won't have captured all the problems in detail, but be rest assured I am making representations on all this directly, as well as through the planning process.

You can still make representations of your own here: planning.surreycc.gov.uk/Pla…
My latest update on the Priory School can be seen here: facebook.com/cllrkatefairhur…
Any move to Woodhatch Place is unacceptable. @SurreyCouncil should meet with @reigatebanstead urgently to discuss alternatives for the site.

I was pleased to write for @ConHome about my reflections of the recent General Election.
Most people are not party political. They just want to see delivery. In time, I hope the Conservatives will be the party to make Britain work again.

Proposals to keep the school on the current site need to be fully considered.
That is what I argued last night. Great to hear that the Borough Council will keep proactively urging Surrey CC to get round the table. As will I.

If there was mischief in the office, it was likely Luke making it.
If there was a colleague in need of help, it was likely Luke offering it.
Luke was a former colleague and friend. Loyal, creative, intelligent and caring.
He’ll be greatly missed.
It isn't often I post about myself and it is even less often I talk about myself. But, the great team at @BritainLeads gave me the opportunity this week to chat about what makes me tick and why I care about contributing to our public life.
Do give it a listen! 📣

Thank you @cwowomen for profiling me.
My political journey so far has been exciting, rewarding and full of different experiences. If anyone fancies dipping their toe into public life in 2024, I'll gladly share my thoughts and I'm sure CWO will be on hand to help too!
Great to be at the Reigate Christmas Fayre today with fellow councillors. Thanks to all the amazing volunteers for making it happen!
I was delighted to join @BritainLeads last night to launch the Future Leaders Programme Essay Collection.
I even wrote one myself! I wrote about the vital importance of UK soft power and our duty to use it as a force for good 👇
I was delighted to contribute to this essay collection. Thank you @BritainLeads for the opportunity and I'm looking forward to learning from everyone else's pieces.

The sun came out for the regular @ReigateGuild litter pick this morning. Good to join the volunteers and get Church Street, Bell Street and Bancroft Road looking that bit tidier.
Now to Manchester.

I was delighted to chair this event last night with @ClaireCoutinho, who generously took some time with us at @CWOSouthEast to talk about her new Cabinet role and her journey into politics.
Thank you Claire for your insight and wisdom!
