Council Money Saved

Sharing buildings with other organisations has saved Surrey taxpayers around seven hundred thousand pounds in the last year.

County council staff share offices across Surrey with hundreds of employees from other public services, including around seven hundred in offices owned by borough and district councils.

The money saved from rent, heating and repairs is enough to pay for 70 school places over a year.

Surrey county council cabinet associate, Tony Samuels has said the saving will be put back into the “front line”, including schools and elderly care.

Girl Assaulted in Crawley

A 17 year old girl who was attacked in Crawley on Friday received a bite to her cheek, resulting in hospital treatment.

The incident took place between eight thirty and nine pm and has been described as “a nasty, unprovoked attack”.

The girl was on her way home near the level crossing on Horsham Road and opposite the Casbah Food shop.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to get in contact with Sussex police.

Traffic Offence Crackdown

Hundreds of motorists are getting away with speeding and jumping red lights because officers can’t identify who’s driving.

Now, as part of an initiative named Operation Stingray, Sussex police are putting together a hotlist with details of unregistered and foreign-registered vehicles whose drivers have committed offences – this way, officers can stop them if they are seen.
