If true, thank God. This person, the Portfolio Holder for Children's Services and Education is paid £350 a week of our money to vote for anything MP Davey or LD RBK leader Kirsch says to vote for is only good thing We need to get rid of the rest of the LD scroungers on £350.
In other news Steph "hard as nails" Archer is quitting. She's off to Bristol and even she doesn't have the brass neck to sit out another 2 years collecting her allowance. Tricky by-election for Sir Edward "not sorry" Davey's team in Chessington.

Can anyone explain this 23/03242/FUL? Erection of 3 new buildings of 4 to 16 storeys and part demolition of the former Listed Old Post Office building?

The now deceased Mary Clark and David Fraser were exiled by the RBK Consrvatives for not agreeing to the 2014 agenda of ReGen/development before caring for residents concerns. They were old school/traditional. FYI. The current RBK LD admin continues with the Cons 2014 agenda.

They are right wingers masquerading as independents

In every election in Kingston the LibDems claim they are the only alternative to the Conservatives to frighten folk into supporting them - but the truth is when given the chance they act as bad as them - don’t take my word for it, ask Alan Bates what Ed Davey told him
Replying to @BBCPolitics
I understand her frustration, but I'd rather we kept the pressure on Government to sort out the mess of this scandalous situation. If she manages to take a percentage of the Lib Dems votes in her & Ed Davies constituency it could mean a Tory Seat.... Nobody should want that 🤬

The budget numbers for 24/25 look very grim. The LibDems promised in 2018 to reduce ‘fat cat’ salaries, yet we have doubled the fat cats, with cast off’s from failed or bankrupt councils. Children’s services/special needs will be cut. The proposed ‘savings’ look horrendous.
Replying to @KingstonNubNews
If the Lib Dems want to save essential services they could look closer to home and stop wasting cash on vanity projects and employing ever more fat cats on £100k salaries.

So, is it true that there will be no consultation but just a ‘public exhibition’ about the progress AND that it ultimately will be an OFFICER Delegated decision?

The last ‘new team’ cost us £4,000,000 and Cllr Sweeney is till there and has not resigned. How confident are you, or is this just By Election claptrap?

Just watched Mr Bates (The Post office Scandal) Life, business and homes lost because of Ed Davey & UK’s biggest miscarriage of justice, with sub postmasters wrongly convicted & jailed for problems with missing money that were the result of the faulty Horizon PO computer system.

Apparently a BIG announcement due in February, ahead of any local by-election. Sense an Officer delegated type scenario as apparently no consultation.

Have tonight been refused my right to speak on @KingstonLibDems plans to remove the night care allowance from the most disabled and limit the amount of Disability-Related Expenditure (DRE) that we pay people. @RBKIndependents will never stop standing up for disabled people in our borough - no matter how often the Lib Dems try and stop us speaking!

Heard that this will feature in a February meeting. But watch out for the end of March, with 2 sets of rushed through accounts and a bad news Cambridge Road announcement. Kirsch out and the former S151 officer, now CEO Ms Ireland on the ropes. Not schadenfreude, just a tragedy?
The replacement of the Kingfisher swimming pool/leisure centre (shut in 2019) "continues to make steady progress". Revised designs will go to public consultation "in Spring 2024".(Pics: Very low-key council update + Historic England pic, for those too young to know/remember it)

Not sure about any irony. Cllr Wearing will lead a Labour vote in Norbiton & KTown. Greens will take three seats in Berrylands/Alexandra and KIRG will add seats in New Malden and Old Malden. Just have to wait.
would mean the Tories might not be the official opposition in Kingston Council now… ironically Giles’ Independents group might be instead

Just celebrating its 2nd Birthday, this temporary cover has finally being dealt with. Not the fault of RBK other than the failure to chase Power Networks about this dangerous obstacle in Kingston Town. WELCOME TO KINGSTON unless you are visually impaired or physically disabled.

Spoke to the guys last week, turns out it is BT Openworld and someone had lifted the lid to steal several KGs of aluminium enforcement bars. The difficulty being replacement are now metric and don't fit!

He has been on our radar for 4 years being a misogamist and a gaslighting activist on his various fake social media accounts.
Just another Lib Dem paper candidate in it for the money, paid to nothing other than to vote approval. Feel sorry for proper Lib Dems wanting to make a change To repeat previously used Lib Dem terminology against KIRG, Andrew Wooldridge is just scum.

RBK residents have paid £5k a time for this LD ars**ole to ask a question for his residents. The worst performing Cllr in RBK, just 3 questions on behalf of residents. He was sacked from a committee and had his pay dropped to just £10k from £16K. What a joke.

Temporary accommodation is a ‘real risk’ to council finances as the leader of Eastbourne Council highlights the Local Government Association’s report, outlining the “unprecedented” cost of temporary accommodation to local authorities reaching £1.7bn. room151.co.uk/funding/tempor…

Unfortunately this the K&S Lib Dem policy chosen by Cllrs Sweeney, Hayes and Nardelli. A 24 hour visitor economy, eat, snort, inject and urinate as much as you like. No CCTV, no public toilets, broken lighting and uncollected rubbish. Welcome to Kingston.
