A report says Surrey Police has made improvements in protecting vulnerable children.

It’s after HMIC said in 2015 the force needed to do more to keep children safe.

Assistant Chief Constable, Jeremy Burton, says safeguarding children is a vital part of their vision to make Surrey the safest county.

Many Southern Rail season ticket holders say they’re still waiting for compensation promised to them before Christmas.

The train operator says it’s nearly finished contacting 40,000 people, but says there could be nearly double that number registering online next week when their dedicated site opens.

The Government said in December one-off payments worth up to a month of free travel could be claimed to make up for the recent disruption.

Jeremy Corbyn’s accused Tory ministers of what he calls a “sweetheart deal” to ensure Surrey Councillors dropped the planned 15 % rise in Council Tax.

Leader, David Hodge says, the decision not to proceed with the increase “was ours alone and there has been no deal” between Surrey and the Government.

The Labour Leader during Prime Minister’s Questions yesterday quoted, what he said were leaked text messages showing Hodge negotiating with the government to call off the proposals.

Teresa May responded by saying, “The deal that is on offer to all councils is the one that I have already set out.” Hitting out at Corbyn saying he was making “alternative facts” and what Labour really needs is an “alternative leader.”

An investigation is underway into the cause of a house fire in Lingfield.

It happened in the early hours of yesterday morning in Selbys, with crews from Lingfield, Godstone and East Grinstead attending.

No-one was injured, but three people were treated for smoke inhalation.
