News from Nutfield Parish Council

 

 Parish Meeting

No meeting took place during August but the Committees were available for any urgent business. The September meeting took place on 10 September. During the public forum, one matter arose concerning the eroded footpath between Mid Street and Sandy Lane. We have contacted SCC about this but in the meantime, please use this section with care. If you find any other problems when walking our footpaths, please advise the Clerk and we will attempt to rectify the problem. We understand that funding is low priority at SCC for footpaths at present but we can but try! The Conservation Society are planning to start a footpath inspection and hopefully make repairs or clear overgrown areas.

Police report.

Village Matters

 We were extremely disheartened and angry at hearing that the ditches and pavement work planned for The Avenue has been postponed by SCC Highways due to lack of funds! We have correspondence confirming that this work would be carried out during the 08/09 year and that funds had been agreed. The Clerk has written a letter to SCC Highways expressing our dismay at this outcome, especially after all the work that has gone into the road report and householder survey. The north side pavement is worse than ever, the ditches are completely overgrown and we can only ask you to take care on that side of the road or cross over to the more level pavement. This decision did not meet a high enough priority and we have questioned just how high the priority for health and safety has to be to qualify for work to be completed!

 

As reported above we are still actively contacting SCC Highways on the pothole and overgrown verge/hedge problems around the Parish. It seems to be a constant battle but remember you can help us by reporting any problem you see to the Clerk and then the Surrey County Council Call Centre telephone: 08456 009 009 and follow the procedure. Remember to obtain a reference number and let us know. We can then compile these and chase SCC if no work is completed

Remember this is the time for you to cut back your hedges to allow easy use of footpaths. Please dispose of the cuttings and do not leave them lying at the roadside.

 

The next Parish Council Meeting is to be held on Wednesday 01st October 2008 at The Village Hall, South Nutfield.  Public Forum from 7.30 pm in the rear Committee Room
