We are approaching my next series of local public meetings. As before, they are aimed at giving anyone - regardless of political views - an opportunity to hear direct from me on local and national issues, and ask questions or raise matters of concern.

The upcoming meetings are:

• Wednesday 19 September – Thames Ditton Junior School, Mercer Close, Thames Ditton, KT7 0BS

• Friday 21 September – RES (Rydens), Hersham Road, Walton on Thames, KT12 5PY

• Tuesday 25 September - St Andrew’s Church Hall, Oakshade Road, Oxshott, KT22 0LE

• Wednesday 26 September - Holy Trinity Church Hall, Church Rd, Claygate, KT10 0JP

All meetings start at 7.30pm and will last for up to 2 hours.
