Time to reflect ….  

There are no Council Meetings in August, and little political activity. So postings to this website will be on hold, and I hope readers will also be relaxing and not miss them.

I will check every now and then for comments and discussion; and if anything unexpected happens terms of SCC politics will write about it here.

Coming in September …

• ‘ Schools and Learning’ Committee on 2nd September. Does not now look as if it will have a full report on Youth Services following the consultation and work done over summer, but should have a report on Commercial Services (’owners’ of school meals) and also a report on School Exclusions.

• ‘Children and Families’ Committee 10th September. The long delayed full report on why Ruth House (respite care associated with Freemantles School) has remained closed or in partial use so long; plus an update on CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service). This is should be particularly closely scrutinised given the JAR report (some details in the article below)

• Tuesday 16th September - special Woking Local Committee meeting on Woking’s Bicycle-related plans, with all that extra money to spend ….

So please, look in again then!
