While the national political scene is still coming to terms with the reality of Thursday night's by-election result in Crewe and what that means for a future general election result - merely a mid-term blip for Labour or the first win in a Tory landslide (in my opinion somewhere between the two) - life in Oxted and Hurst Green appears fairly quiet. Certainly my email inbox and postbag appear rather empty at the moment.
With the retirement of Dick Allen, our deputy leader, at the election the Tory Group now has a new deputy (current Council chairman Tony Elias). We also have some new chairmen of Committees, which are now all slightly smaller in size. Hopefully these changes will herald new ideas and more innovation as we all seek to make Tandridge an even more desirable place to live.
