In today's episode, Jacqui and Al focus on two big issues currently affecting Surrey Heath.First, we are delighted to welcome Councillor Shaun Mcdonald, the Leader of Surrey Heath Borough Council, to discuss this week's news that Surrey Heath Borough Council is facing potential bankruptcy in as little as two years - the result of reckless property speculation by previous administrations that have left Surrey Heath as the 6th most indebted local authority in England and on Moody's top-20 bankruptcy watch list. This week, Surrey Heath Borough Council published all the documents in their possession related to the questionable purchases, which took place in 2016: https://www.surreyheath.gov.uk/council-finances/purchase-square-and-house-fraser-storeWe also discuss the ongoing threat posed by property developers to the much-valued Heathpark Woods in the village of Windlesham. We welcome the dedicated local campaigner Sandy Reed, to talk about the woods, their value to the village as a green barrier, and her petition which is gaining considerable local attention: https://www.change.org/p/save-heathpark-wood-from-destructionThanks for listening.
