Travelodge Dorking is resurfacing its carpark. I’ve been pushing for this since my election; writing to the CEO and social media. It will take four weeks, and the drainage will be replaced to stop the flooding.

I spoke to BBC Radio Surrey this morning about audiology services returning to Dorking Community Hospital this week. Hundreds of my constituents were left stranded without warning after its abrupt closure at the end of May due to an IT error.
