Only one borough council in Surrey has voted to support a nationwide campaign to exempt people leaving the care system from paying council tax.

Councillor Will Forster, current mayor for Woking Borough Council, said: "In April when new council tax statements are sent out young care leavers have that avenue to get some tax relief so they can make a successful transition to adulthood."

One more borough council is "close to agreeing" the exemption.

Mr Forster also called on Surrey County Council (SCC) cabinet member for children, councillor Clare Curran to write to the other nine councils "who have no immediate plans" and "urge them" to take the same action.

The nationwide campaign to exempt care leavers from paying council tax until they reach 25 was adopted as a motion by SCC in March.

A suicidal teenager was turned away from two Brighton hospitals this month and others' cries for help are being ignored, councillors heard this week.

Although more Brighton and Hove children with diagnosable mental health issues are receiving help, figures for April to July this year show only one in three have received treatment.

And the numbers being referred to specialist youth mental health service CAMHS has more than doubled from 57 to 124 in the last year.

In the report put before the Children, Young People and Skills Committee, councillors heard the key national target was to ensure 30% of children and young people with a diagnosable mental health condition receive treatment by the end of each financial year.

In Brighton and Hove, 34% or 1,469 have been treated in the 2018/19 period so far.

The figure for 2017-18 was 17%, or 750 out of 4,322.

Drivers are parking in village roads to avoid paying charges at countryside estate car parks, according to one Surrey councillor.

Dorking Hills Liberal Democrat councillor Hazel Watson said the problem of lack of parking for village residents had been "exacerbated" since charges were introduced in July.

But the cabinet member in charge of implementing the charges, councillor Mike Goodman, said Surrey Highways had received no reports of any problems.

He told a Surrey County Council meeting today relevant mitigation measures had been implemented where the risk was considered to be high.

That included yellow lines on Staple Hill, Chobham, and bollards adjacent to Fetcham Roundabout car park.

He said all locations continue to be monitored and additional mitigation measures will be considered "where issues arise".

Theresa May has praised an "inspiring" 99-year-old who has been ringing the bells at a Surrey church for 87 years.

Responding to Spelthorne MP Kwasi Kwarteng, the prime minister wished a happy birthday to Dennis Brock, who will turn 100 next week.

She said his service to St Mary's Church in Sunbury-on-Thames was a "considerable and significant record".

Mr Kwarteng, speaking in Parliament during Prime Minister's Questions, said: "We believe confidently that he is the eldest bell-ringer in the world."

Homes for nurses and other key workers were called for as plans for the Brighton General Hospital site were shown to city councillors.

Much of the hospital plot at the top of Elm Grove will become housing once it is sold off by the Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust.

Selling off the land to a developer will give the trust enough money to build a community health hub, with promise of a GP surgery and pharmacy, along with existing services for mental health, podiatry and early parenting.

Members of the Brighton and Hove City Council Health and Wellbeing Board questioned the trust's director of finance and estates, Mike Jenning, when they met yesterday.

Elm Grove and Hanover Green Councillor Dick Page asked to what extent the health hub was linked to the rest of the site being sold off to a developer.

He said: "It will contribute a massive amount to the city's housing needs. "There is a lot of will from elected representatives and a lot of concern about selling off public land.

"There is a lot of interest in it being public housing and truly affordable and for key workers."

Councillor Page also welcomed the GP surgery and pharmacy proposed for the site. Mr Jennings confirmed sale for housing was needed to cover the cost of the hub.

He said: "We want to be able to say a proportion of the housing is truly affordable and key worker housing. "We want to align with our workforce and our partners work force needs."

A house in Maybury, Surrey, which was being used to stash and sell drugs has been shut down after police were granted a closure order.

Surrey Police said local people had come forward to report they were being targeted by drug dealers and were frightened for their safety.

Woking Borough Commander, Inspector Andy Greaves, said the process of forcing someone into drug dealing against their will was known as "cuckooing".

He said: "Professional drug dealers come into an area and take over a property, often occupied by a vulnerable person and use it as a place from which they run their drugs business.

"That vulnerability could be as a result of substance abuse, it could be as a result of mental health issues or it could be just through loneliness."

The order, which was granted at Guildford Magistrates Court, lasts for a period of three months.

No-one has been seriously hurt in an eight car pile-up which caused long delays on the M20 at Maidstone earlier, Kent Police has said.

The crash "completely blocked" the coastbound motorway initially, but Highways England said all lanes were now open and accident recovery work had been completed.
