Surrey Police Authority is to hold a widespread public consultation on their plans to expand their force by about 200 new constables, paid for by cutting about 50 senior officers and relocating Police Stations to council offices and supermarkets.

Young voters should register says Rosie Sharpley

Rosie Sharpley expressed concern today at the recent report by the Electoral Commission about voter registration. Rosie said "I was particularly concerned by the finding that 56% of people between the ages of 18-24 haven't registered. I can understand why young people are alienated from the political process at the moment, but I hope many will realise in time that this election does have great potential to change the politics of the UK for good. If elected I will vote for fair voting so that every vote in every election counts and we can end the two party duopoly of Tweedledum and Tweedledumber."
