News from Ockham Parish Council September 2024

  • Traffic issues in Ockham continue to dominate with speeding vehicles ignoring the prescribed diversion routes and restrictions and using our local roads to avoid the National Highways generated delays. A local resident has generously stepped in and offered their help as we work to try and garner support from National Highways, the Police, our new MP, SCC and others. We have suggested that the resident sets up a petition to focus the statutory agencies on addressing the issues. If you are willing to help with this please let us know via our clerk: clerk@ockhamparishcouncil.gov.uk .We hope that all residents will sign the petition and support this campaign. We want to keep our local roads safe. Do remember that you can contact NH with your direct queries by emailing them on m25j10@nationalhighways.co.uk
  • Wisley Action Group continue to fund raise to meet the costs of the S.288 Review of the Planning Inspector’s decision to allow the Taylor Wimpey application for FWA. Legal action is expensive, please continue to spread the word and donate generously if you can. Account: WISLEY AIRFIELD ACTION GROUP Sort Code: 20 35 35 Account number: 10574287

    Thank you to everyone who has already donated.

  • The next 8 Parishes Flood Forum will take place on Friday 20th September from 10 – 12 noon at East Horsley Village Hall. This is a public meeting so all are welcome to attend and observe. We will be discussing local flooding issues with the statutory bodies, such as SCC, in attendance.
  • Although the S.288 Review of the Planning Inspector’s decision to allow the TW application for FWA is pending, GBC advise that they are nevertheless obliged to seek to deliver the scheme. Consequently, Design Code meetings are currently taking place and we attended a meeting organised by GBC on Monday 9th September. We repeatedly asked about consultation with the local community as we believe this is critical. We would like to set up a working group to consider any information shared with us as part of local consultation. Are you interested? Could you help please? We feel it is important to be involved in all discussion and share local views. If you would like to join our working group, please email clerk@ockhamparishcouncil.gov.uk
