Only Lib Dems choose to challenge Government's housing targets
During the run-up to the consultation on Mole Valley's Draft Local Plan, Councillor Stephen Cooksey, Liberal Democrat Leader of Mole Valley, announced his intention to write to the Prime Minister to challenge the hosuing targets imposed by the Government on Mole Valley. The letter draws attention to the comments made by Boris Johnson during the Tory Leadership campaign when he told reporters in Oxshott that "We should not be imposing targets on Councils that they are simply finding it impossible to meet without building on the Green Belt".

And other initiatives to meet our manifesto:
An investment of £200,000 to implement green environmental policies. "We will also increase the number of free 30 minute parking spaces," says Councillor Clayton Wellman, "as well as business and low-paid worker parking permit schemes." "Increasing the grant made to Citizens Advice is a sound and a caring investment because of the support they give to residents in need," says Cllr Hazel Watson. Budget was also set aside for an anti-littering campaign and the deployment of mobile cameras will undoubtedly help stop fly-tipping.
