Surrey Heath Cast: notes from the 'Blue Wall'

Episode 9: Sudan, and the Local Elections in Surrey Heath.

April 21, 2023 • Alasdair Pinkerton & Jacqui Hames

In this episode (the first after a short intermission for Easter), Al and Jacqui dissect the latest happenings in Sudan - drawing on Al's experiences in Khartoum and northern Sudan last year.

We reflect on the UK Local Elections, which are now only 2 weeks away. In what was once the "safest Tory seat in the UK", the Liberal Democrats are competing hard to take control of Surrey Heath Borough Council and have laid out a comprehensive vision for how they would administer SHBC. We also talk about the new Voter ID requirements.

Finally, we share details of Surrey Heath's official celebration of the Coronation, to be held on Sunday 7th May at Frimley Lodge Park . All details available from the Mayor's Charity Facebook page:
