Thank you message from Paul Follows

A Big Thank you from the new boy that saw him land the second biggest surge in Lib Dem votes in the country!

See the South West Surrey Surge below. Think what it might have been if Dumber hadn’t promised to revoke Article 50! Mistake… Big Mistake!

New lakeside homes available in Cranleigh?

Exactly as residents predicted – the new homes consented by Waverley Planners to developers – Thakeham now have a lakeside view.

We hope – for the sake of their new occupants that the waters don’t reach them, as parts of Elmbridge Road go under water.

 

One local resident popped this picture into our inbox yesterday – saying what others have been saying for years about flood-prone Cranleigh – “how stupid to build on a floodplain immediately opposite a stinking sewage works and adjacent to Cranleigh Waters.”

Former MP Anne Milton who chairs the Cranleigh Flood Frum, called for an investigation after Developers Thakeham Homes representatives were allowed to sit around the planning officers’ table during the meeting when consent was given.

Water, water leaking everywhere – but sometimes, not a drop to drink in Cranleigh and the eastern​ villages?

You can read more about the consent here.

Thakeham’s home – but certainly not dry!

In the interest of clarity – here are the new Cranleigh Health Trust’s future charitable aims.

AN UPDATE on Changing the name – so what’s the game?

We understand from some of our followers that it was difficult to decipher the new Objects of the newly named – Cranleigh Health Trust – so here they are in larger print – so everyone can read them clearly, even if you cannot clearly understand them.

The Charity’s Objects are as follows: 

THE CHARITY’S OBJECTS ARE FOR THE RELIEF OF SICKNESS AND FOR THE PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION (No word – OF  – here) PUBLIC HEALTH IN CRANLEIGH, SURREY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA WITHIN THE AREA COVERED BY THE WAVERLEY PRIMARY CARE GROUP AND IN SUCH OTHER AREAS AS THE TRUSTEES THINK FIT IN PARTICULAR BY PROVIDING OR ASSISTING IN THE PROVISION (THROUGH THE PURCHASING,  LEASING, RUNNING, MAINTAINING OR OTHER INVOLVEMENT) OF A HOSPITAL THERETO IN CRANLEIGH AS A LOCAL HOSPITAL, NURSING HOME, OLD PEOPLE’S HOME, HEALTH CARE AND CLINIC OF ALL KINDS FOR THE PROVISION OF IN PATIENT OR OUT PATIENT, MEDICAL, SOCIAL, DOMESTIC AND OTHER FACILITIES AND EQUIPPING FOR THE RECUPERATION, CARE, ATTENTION, ENTERTAINMENT AND WELLBEING OF THE RESIDENTS OR PATIENTS THEREIN.

There you have it, boys and girls. Hopefully, you will find the above more legible this time.HOWEVER, THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE KITCHEN SINK?

 It is also interesting to note:

Changing the name – so what’s the game?

As they say in a marriage – ‘Change the name but not the letters – you change for worse and not for better.”

After 20 years has the Cranleigh Charity, Cranleigh Village Hospital Trust (CVHT), given up or is it proposing to battle on regardless of public opinion? The residents, including many donors, have written to the Waverley Web saying they are completely baffled.

They are asking:

WHY has CVHT announced – just days after its planning application was refused for a Care Home + community beds  – a name change?  Does it seriously think it’s going to be a game-changer?  If so, they’re doomed to disappointment!

CVHT – CRANLEIGH VILLAGE HOSPITAL TRUST
HAS NOW BECOME
CVHT – CRANLEIGH VILLAGE HEALTH TRUST

We very much doubt the people of Cranleigh and the Eastern Villages care about the so-called charity’s objectives any longer simply because they know it’s no longer a charity but a private enterprise.  

What they do care about is the fact that they’ve been robbed!  And in broad daylight!  Robbed of Circa £1.5/7m.
Until the Trustees of CVHT fess-up, admit to their chicanery and offer to reimburse those who supported their original objective – a NEW COTTAGE HOSPITAL – not a PRIVATELY OWNED NURSING HOME or any of the above named in its latest objectives, the Villagers – v – Trustees divide will continue.  
Rather like Momentum, the Trustees have built themselves an echo chamber and moved into it.  But what they need to remember is that there are more villagers than them and that doesn’t bode well for their welcome should they ever succeed in getting their next miserable, tainted project off the ground.  Do the residents of Cranleigh and the Eastern Villages want this self-serving project to succeed in the teeth of local opposition?  The answer is short and to the point: NO!  Perhaps there should be a vote on it? And, perhaps villagers should be putting themselves forward as future Trustees?

 Note the new Charitable Objects cater to the new Martini generation –  anyone anytime, anywhere! Provided the Trust can hang on to former parish land, and whatever public money is left in its coffers?

No wonder Cranleigh Parish Council, which handed over the proposed site in a land-swap, has set aside £3,000 of its limited funds to seek legal advice? 

Power to the people of the eastern villages as they joined Waverley Planners to give a controversial Care Home development the order of the boot.

Changing the name – so what’s the game?

Dinah Washington’s What a difference a day makes:

What a difference a change could make
Just five little letters
It might bring back the sun and the favour
Where there used to be rain
Our yesterday was blue, dear villagers, without you
Today we’re a part of you,
Our lonely days are through, dear villagers
Soon you might just be ours
Lord, what a difference a name makes
There’s now a rainbow before us
Skies above can’t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling idea
It’s heaven when you
Find a trick up your sleeve
What a difference a name change might make
All the difference to us!

Do the Trustees – like Jeremy Corbyn & John McDonnell – think that local residents are daft?  Do they really think they can continue to bamboozle them?  If so they are living in a bubble bigger than the Westminster bubble that failed to predict the recent political earthquake!

 Apparently, the Trustees have also changed their charitable objectives, according to the Charities’ Commission website:

Here are the original Objects…

Here are the new Objects, if you can Adam and Eve it, published on the Charity’s website. Note: In the area of the Primary Care Group.  A group soon to become Surrey Heartlands Trust. Also note the new Charitable Objects cater for anyone and everyone, for anything and everything,  – just so long as it can hang onto the land and the public’s money?

Perhaps now – the SW Surrey MP will meet with the new leaders of Waverley Borough Council in a spirit of co-operation. Because you know what Mr Hunt, the people of this country, and this borough are heartily sick of politicians playing their own silly games. Show us what you are made of now you have the power you crave and make a difference to the lives of YOUR residents.  Help our children walk to school without choking on exhaust fumes. Because after 15 years as our MP, we now demand RESULTS, not RHETORIC!
