Maldens and Coombe Meeting on Wednesday, 30th November at Christchurch, starts at 7.30 to late, Agenda can be seen on the RBK website.

AGM Tonight

Tonight I have been asked to Chair the AGM of the Arthritic Society in New Malden, I will look forward to meeting the same people as last year Tina , John ,Joslin and of course the members.

The voluntary work they all do in one more testament to the goodness of people that surround us, they are not the ones who pass on the other-side of the road.

I am sure I talk for everyone in New Malden when I say a big thank you to all concerned.

Meeting

Today I had a very interesting meeting at the Guildhall with the Manager of MCNC Hannah Rees,

the Conservative initiative to have free car parking in the Muli Story car park in Cocks Crescent was on the agenda, this would help both small businesses in New Malden and also shoppers by cutting out Parking costs on Saturdays starting from the 25th November, a max stay of 4 hours will be allowed , see leaflets for detail of the free parking.

No shame

Cllr David Fraser and myself were called to see the vandalism of the War Memorial in Old Malden the day after it happened, words cannot express our anger at the wanten crime.

Our thanks go out to all those who sent money to the appeal for fund to restore the Memorial.

This type of crime is happening all over the Country, so it was nice to read that the Government is to act, working with the Police a system will be put in place, hopefully scrap metal dealers will have to keep a register have CCTV installed and other more discreet checking.

Poppys

11 11 11 is getting closer, and most think that there is a thing called Poppy Day, well the truth is that Poppy collections carry on throughout the year. And it really need to.

The RBL last year collected nationwide some 38 million, but spent 43 Million on ex service men women and their families. your generosity have helped so many in need, we will never know who received our help. but we know that the RBL are always on hand to assist those who have given so much to keep our country safe.
