Last year, members of Godalming Town Council received a presentation from representatives of the SMARTPHONE FREE CHILDHOOD movement and unanimously resolved to promote the initiative in Godalming.
I share this link describing a simple and effective option to limit access for iPhone users.

Apple built a tool for people with cognitive disabilities, but I accidentally discovered it’s also the best kids’ phone setup no one is talking about—not even Apple.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026 🎆🎉 🍷

Good evening everyone. On behalf of all the councillors and staff of Waverley Borough Council and Godalming Town Council - HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉

🌟 2025 has been an extremely busy year for everyone and 2026 is going to be even more so with the last full year of the existence of Waverley Borough itself and the elections for the new West Surrey Unitary in May.

🙏 Thank you to all the residents I have worked with on so many things over this year, to our blue light services in Guildford and Waverley for all you do all year round, and to all our fantastic staff at WBC and GTC and to all those who work for community, charity and voluntary organisations - you all do so much to help and support our communities than most people will ever know or see.

🎆 A happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you and your families and best wishes for 2026!

Cllr Paul Follows
Leader, Waverley Borough Council and Godalming Town Council
