RE-ELECT County Councillor Diana Smith

"Four new pedestrian crossings on my patch! I'm particularly pleased with the Denton Way crossing because I persuaded Waitrose and SCC that planning gain money should be used for this, not for removing the Bampton Way bus lay-by."

I will work hard for better services, fairly shared

New Knaphill Library open with longer hours and community use
Better road crossings for people walking to local schools and shops
Successful campaigning at County Hall for investment in road drainage; against closing youth centres and libraries;
To hold the Tory Executive to account for its appalling performance in Children's Services.

"Making the canal towpath a pedestrian and cycle highway into Woking is brilliant. I'm been proud to support this on the Local Transport Committee, on the Joint Management Committee of the Basingstoke Canal, and as a resident."

I believe in listening to you

Regular 'surgeries' for residents.
Working with residents individually to cut through bureaucracy and get problems fixed.

"I'm a long- standing School Governor; this experience helps me work for better schools and better services for children throughout my Division and the whole of Surrey, on the Schools and Learning Committee."

I keep you in touch with what's going on
