Title: Dom Raab - Meeting 22 April VF Hall
Post by: Highways Contact on April 02, 2014, 01:25:31 PM

"In addition to my local surgery, I regularly hold local public meetings across the constituency. The idea is to make myself as accessible as possible, and ensure I can hear your views. I have held 31 since the 2010 election, and am planning my latest round in April, as follows:

• Tuesday 22 April – Vera Fletcher Hall, 4 Embercourt Road, Thames Ditton, KT7 0LQ

All meetings start at 7.30pm and will last up to 2 hours. I hope to see as many residents there as possible.

Good for him. Sadly, I will be abroad.

Ah thanks for posting that!

I will try and go to this - and perhaps I can raise the trains as an isssue?

That said - I have to say I think his current list of local 'priorities' as listed on his website are in my view of higher importance and relevance than the issue of the trains which I believe there is very little we can achieve unless SW trains do not perform to the charter... and we can prove this...

Bump bump this thread as a reminder this is tonight.

I'm still hoping to go along but looking like its 50/50 on whether or not I'll make it!

Did anyone make this and have some feedback they can report on?

Sadly I couldn't make it myself in the end.

Nor could I. I'd be interested to know what transpired - anyone?

There were quite a few people there.

Mr. Raab is a very good and relaxed speaker.

The groups there were particularly interested in:

1) UKIP, the Euro elections, the Ukraine;

2) The Jolly Boatman

3) Secondary school places.

Thanks for the update rytheman.

What was said about the jolly boatman ? And also the secondary school places?

The latter I believe Thames Ditton junior is going to become a feeder into hinchley wood ?

The former - is there anything that can be done about the jolly boatman or is it all steam ahead with the plans they have now ?

Secondary schools - it seemed the mothers present would very much favour Hinchley Wood, but that that school has a lot of Surbiton/Chessington in its catchment area which cannot be changed. There has been a change in the way Hinchley Wood places are allocated which local parents will be able to post more about.

Jolly Boatman - essentially Dominic was saying it had been to (the High?) Court and there was nothing he could change as an MP, other than keep up-to-date with it.
