It is obvious to me that our interests will be best served by aligning ourselves to the newly formed Weybridge Riverside ward as St George's has a totally different community & different Ward issues.

I trust I am not too late for your cut off, but I have only just been informed of the proposals to take all roads east of Portsmouth Road out from Thames Ditton ward and make part of Long Ditton ward. We object strongly to these proposals on that grounds that they run contrary to the LGBCE’s main consideration to reflect community identity. The Thames Ditton & Weston Green Residents’ Association serves this part of Thames Ditton well. These roads, including our own, have always been part of the parish of St Nicholas Thames Ditton and within the KT7 postal code. We look to the shared amenity of Giggs Hill Green and the village of Thames Ditton with its doctor’s surgery, dentist, schools, library and high street shops as the hub of our local community. We would strongly urge you to reconsider these proposals.

Objection: contrary to one of your main considerations, “to reflect community identity”. 1) Our community is Thames Ditton. I cannot understand the logic of declaring that Thames Ditton residents should be part of a ward with which we have little to do, as opposed to the one which is the centre of our community. Our local shops, care homes, schools, churches and station are all in Thames Ditton. We use the Thames Ditton village green, Giggs Hill Green, to exercise ourselves and our pets, and to support our cricket club – which is in Thames Ditton just as we are. 2) Our community in has historically always seen itself as being in Thames Ditton. The traditional Angel pub in the area affected has been a part of our community for centuries and if you look up the Victorian artist John Jessop Hardwick (whose work still sells at auction) who used to live at my address on Angel Road [in the affected area] you will see that he was Churchwarden for the Parish of Thames Ditton since 1881. Address; Objection: contrary to one of your main considerations, “to provide for convenient and effective local government”. 3) The proposed ward boundaries are illogical and will make local government inconvenient and ineffective. 1 Many of the roads affected have their main entrance and exit from the Portsmouth Road (e.g. Gloucester Close, Ditton Lawn, Giggs Hill Gardens, Angel Road, Rythe Gardens) and for four out of those five, plus all homes along the Portsmouth Road, the Portsmouth Road is the only access. Why move electors out of their natural ward? I am copying this letter to a representative of the Thames Ditton & Weston Green Residents’ Association. I think that proves which local community I am part of! Yours Mr. Chris O’Leary 2 Hinds, Alex From: Mayers, Mishka on behalf of reviews Sent: 04 August 2015 09:48 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Objection to LGBCE proposals for Thames Ditton (Embridge Council) From: Dominic Otero Sent: 03 August 2015 17:20 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Objection to LGBCE proposals for Thames Ditton (Embridge Council) To the Review Officer (Elmbridge), I’m writing to object to the Boundary Commissions plans to re‐draw the ward boundaries and move myself and neighbouring residents into the Long Ditton ward. We moved to Thames Ditton 2 years ago, attracted by the ability to be part of the vibrant Thames Ditton community. My son regularly plays on Gigs Hill green and is looking forward to playing cricket there when he’s a bit older. He also goes to the playgroup in the Community centre next to the Library and we have made many good friends and established good links with people in the area. We try to use the High Street as much as possible, buying veg at Paull’s and meeting friends at the cafes. I’m also a frequent user of the Thames Ditton forum and try to take part as much as I can in the future planning for the village. (eg the prospective farmers market etc) through our residents association and councillors. Two years in, we’re feeling like a part of community and look forward to strengthening our ties with the area when our children go to school. Breaking the link between our representatives and the village would leave us without a voice to lobby regarding future issues on parking, shops and services in Thames Ditton and it is for this reason I’d like to object and ask that the current boundaries remain. Your sincerely, Dominic Otero 1 Hinds, Alex From: Fuller, Heather Sent: Friday, August 21, 2015 04:05 PM To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Objection to LGBCE proposals for Thames Ditton (Elmbridge Council) From: Simon Ove Sent: 20 August 2 To: reviews <[email protected]> sals for Thames Ditton (Elmbridge Council) Simon & Sarah Over Dear Sir/Madam, We are writing in response to the proposed breakup of the Thames Ditton Ward, as we wish to raise an objection. We understand that the plans will result in our house being moved from being part of this ward to Long Ditton Ward. Were this to happen it would remove our house from the community that we feel we belong to, i.e. Thames Ditton. Our local doctors' surgery is a short walk from our house, as are our local shops and the schools that we hope our daughter will be able to attend when she is old enough - all within Thames Ditton. A change to the ward boundaries will mean this community link is broken and may lead to problems when applying for or using these services, for example a change to our local surgery or a different catchment area for schools. In addition, our local village green, Giggs Hill Green, runs virtually alongside our house so to have the boundary line run between the two would divide us from where we have always enjoyed spending our free time. In many respects having this village green on our doorstep confirms our place as part of the Thames Ditton community, enhanced by our inclusion within the Thames Ditton Conservation Area Advisory Committee boundaries. With no such committee within Long Ditton this would remove the conservation protection the Thames Ditton committee provides. Finally, the local aspect is particularly key when it comes to local government. Being part of the Thames Ditton ward enables us to come under the jurisdiction of an active Residents' Association. This association looks after the interests of the borough when it comes to local government issues, which would be lost should we be divorced from the community. Without this our local government would be extremely ineffective, offering no support for genuine local issues as the major political parties have proven to be unsupportive of the long term interests of the community.

This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Weybridge branch is closing: • The number of counter transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 89% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone • Cust omers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 10% since 2015 • In the past 12 months, 38% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches • We’ve identified that only 27 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement.

One of the many therapies we offer is counselling... Life is not always straight forward – sometimes events unsettle us and leave us facing difficult circumstances, sometimes we experience periods of depression, anxiety or grief and struggle with self doubt or low self esteem. At times like these, counselling offers you the opportunity to talk in confidence to a trained professional who can help you to understand better the issues you are facing and provide support when difficult emotions are stirred up. Counselling is about empowering you to improve your quality of life - whatever your circumstances.
