Clegg in Brussels
It’s not often I recommend stories from The Guardian (‘Grauniad’ to Private Eye lovers like me!) but I’m indebted to one of my regular correspondents for this one.
You’ll notice it says ‘he didn’t break any Rules while in Brussels’. Now, where have we heard that one before?
Lot’s of MPs who ‘didn’t break any Rules’ have had to pay money back or stood down from Parliament altogether.
Hamilton House Planning Appeal
The informal hearing of the appeal by the owner of Hamilton House against refusal of planning permission for a substantial extension of the home in the garden that abuts Malcolm Drive was heard today at the Antoinette Hotel.
Nick Kilby and Paul Johnston both attended along with various members of the Southborough Residents’ Association.
No decision was reached today. It will be forthcoming in some weeks’ time. We shall post it here when we have it to hand.
Hung Parliament? Hung Council?
The endorsement that counts
One of Surbiton’s youngest Conservatives, Alexander Kilby, is campaigning for his dad Nick to be re-elected in Surbiton Hill Ward.
Alexander thinks it would be just great if his auntie Mavis and uncle Paul were elected too!

Works outside 90/92 Ewell Road
This explanation has been received from RBK Highways:-
Due to escaping gas entering ducting belonging to BT , there have been two pits, located between the hospital and 90/92 Ewell Road, being used as ‘venting’ points for safety reasons. This is a recognised standard practice.
The markings outside the premises relate to further works to locate and repair another leak on a possible old redundant supply. This was due to have been carried out on Sunday as the location is in the carriageway in the middle of the hospital entrance. Unfortunately, due to other emergency works, this had to be postponed and now re-planned for this coming Sunday (2nd May).
