Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Elmbridge District Personal Details: Name: Mandy Campbell E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Hinchley Wood Resident Comment text: Dear Sir Change of Ward Boundaries We have lived in since April 2002 and have always considered ourselves to be part of the Hinchley Wood community, despite the fact that our postal address is Thames Ditton. We are very close to Hinchley Wood Station and the local shops in Hinchley Wood Parade. As it is proposed that the ward boundaries are to be changed and we would fall within the Long Ditton ward, we are writing to protest against this as we cannot understand the logic behind it. We feel that we should either remain in Hinchley Wood ward or move to Thames Ditton ward rather than Long Ditton. Could you please add our views to the many that we are sure you will receive on this matter. Yours faithfully Mandy and Bruce Campbell Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/print/informed-representation/5876 17/08/2015 Hinds, Alex From: Fuller, Heather Sent: Friday, August 21, 2015 04:05 PM To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Proposed wards -----Original Message From: Pippa Cardew Sent: 20 August 2015 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Proposed wards Dear review officer,, I live in Weston Green and am opposed to the new boundary proposal. As residents of Weston Green for 13 years now we feel very much part of the Thames Ditton community, with school links, tennis links, doctors surgery, links in the village and many friends locally, we however have no links with any of the roads on the other side of Hampton Court Way. We have no links with Cranmere school and all the roads around that area and the supermarket which is not even open! We feel that it will be detrimental for us to be linked with this area and to be moved out of the Thames Ditton community, it may well affect the desirability if our roads to be removed from the Thames Ditton ward. It may also affect where our children will be able to go to school. We do not support this proposal. Regards Pippa Sent from my iPad 1 Hinds, Alex From: Fuller, Heather Sent: Friday, August 21, 2015 04:05 PM To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Local Boundary for Elmbridge From: Ross Cardew Sent: 20 August 201 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Local Boundary for Elmbridge I would like to raise my concern and opposition to the proposed change of wards and boundaries that specifically effect Weston Green. The alignment to Hinchley Wood rather than the current alignment to Thames Ditton makes no sense in how we as residents live in our community - one that is naturally connected to Thames Ditton thru' proximity to friends, services such as the schools and doctors that we walk to, the tennis club we play at and the village shops and amenities that we use. (The Hampton Court way main road makes a natural boundary leaving Thames Ditton and Weston Green as one single entity that many people would not and do not differentiate between. The links between the two have a long history that should not be broken and if the proposal takes effect will break up a long standing community. Please reconsider. Regards Ross Cardew - Weston Green/Thames Ditton resident. 1 Hinds, Alex From: Mayers, Mishka on behalf of reviews Sent: 30 July 2015 15:38 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Hersham Ward Boundary Changes From: Dean Carr Infinity Sent: 30 July 2015 13:24 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Hersham Ward Boundary Changes The Review Officer (Elmbridge) Local Government Boundary Commission for England 14th Floor, Millbank Tower London SW1P 4QP Hersham Ward Boundary Changes ‐ Objection Letter. Dear Sir/Madam I wish to object to the proposed change in local government boundaries for Hersham Ward for the following reasons 1. The proposed boundary changes move Burwood Park from an orientation to Hersham Village, with which it shares a postcode, to Oatlands, from which it is physically separated by a railway line. 2. Burwood Park has an affinity with Hersham Village due to the rural nature of the community compared to Oatlands, which is a residential area with no natural centre. Residents of Burwood Park ,myself included, use the facilities of Hersham Village for shopping, the library, the doctor’s surgery and the Park lies within the parish of St Peter’s Church. The proposed new Wards are therefore not orientated correctly. 3. There is a risk that future Burwood Park planning issues will be considered in a residential context rather than the rural environment, which exists today. The current Hersham orientated local councillors understand and fully support the interests of Burwood Park residents. 4. The proposed boundary change to move Burwood Park into the Oatlands Ward, results in a change in parliamentary boundary ‐ from Esher and Walton to Weybridge and Runnymede. There are currently no Elmbridge Borough Wards across Parliamentary boundaries. This is a mis‐match, which other Wards do not suffer and will add complexity for residents to navigate and gain support for specific local issues. I would ask that the Review Officer re‐considers the boundary changes and retains Burwood Park and the surrounding roads in the Hersham Ward as proposed by Elmbridge Borough Council. Yours sincerely Dean Carr 1 Hinds, Alex From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 13 August 2015 16:57 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Objection to LGBCE Proposals for Thames Ditton (Elmbridge Council) From: Richard Carr Sent: 12 August 2015 15:30 To: reviews <[email protected]> Cc: Subject: Objection to LGBCE Proposals for Thames Ditton (Elmbridge Council) Dear Sirs I strongly object to the Boundary Commission’s proposal to move me from Thames Ditton ward to Long Ditton ward. I have been a resident of Thames Ditton and Weston Green since 1987 and I live within the area which is directly affected by this boundary change proposal. Thames Ditton remains truly a village amongst surrounding suburban towns. It has everything that people look for in an idyllic village community: A village green (Gigg’s Hill) and cricket club A village church (St Nicholas) A village hall (Vera Fletcher) A train station (Thames Ditton) Several excellent pubs Local amenities with shops, schools, library and doctors Cubs, guides, scouts, model railway and scores of local clubs All of this has been successful in creating our closely knit community with its own very special identity. People of all ages feel at home here and this is not by accident. It is because they have a strong sense of belonging and wish to remain part of Thames Ditton and Weston Green. It is for these reasons that I strongly object to the proposed boundary change. I do not want my local identity altered and I want to remain a voice within Thames Ditton for local government issues.

  • 'Leoni's Drawings for 21 Arlington Street'
    Richard Hewling, ‘Leoni’s Drawings for 21 Arlington Street’, The Georgian Group Jounal, Vol. II, 1992, pp. 19–31 TEXT © THE AUTHORS 1992 LEONI’S DRAWINGS FOR 21 ARLINGTON STREET Richard Hewlings n April 1991 the Drawing Collection of the British Architectural Library purchased a volume of 14 architectural drawings, six explanatory pages and a title page inscribed Ithus: The Original Draughts, For a new House to be Built in Arlington Street, St. James, For the Rt: Homble the Lord Vist: Shannon &c. &c. &c. To Whom these Sheets with the utmost Respect are Humbly Inscribed by James Leoni the Inv:r and Direct:r of it May 25th : 1738. The “Lord Vist: Shannon” was Richard Boyle, 2nd (and last) Viscount, grandson and heir of Francis Boyle, the sixth and youngest son of the “Great” Earl of Cork, founder of the Boyle dynasty. Both Viscounts were soldiers. The first was ennobled in 1660 for his part in suppressing the rebellion in Ireland. The second had an exceptional professional career, becoming field-marshal of all the King’s forces jointly with the 2nd Duke of Argyll. He was born about 1674 and married twice, first, in 1695, to a daughter of the 5 th Earl of Dorset, and widow of his cousin Roger, 2nd Earl of Orrery, secondly (after 1710) to Grace Senhouse, daughter of a Cumberland gentry family from Netherhall, near Maryport. By her he had a daughter, also called Grace, who in 1744 (after his death) married Charles Sackville, then Earl of Middlesex, and from 1765 2nd Duke of Dorset.1 Grace was Lord Shannon’s sole heiress, and she or her husband continued to occupy the Arlington Street house until its sale to Lord Weymouth between 1765 and 1769.2 The head of Lord Fig.

  • Esher and Walton Conservatives
    Elmbridge Electoral Review 2015 Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England by Esher & Walton Conservative Association 1 Elmbridge Electoral Review This document is the Official Submission of the Esher & Walton Conservative Association (EWCA) in response to the consultation being held by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on future warding arrangements for Elmbridge Borough Council (EBC). The Conservative Group that forms the administration of Elmbridge Borough Council asked for this review with an aim to reduce the number of Borough Councillors. We are therefore pleased that the LGBCE is minded to recommend a reduction to 48 Councillors. The Esher & Walton Conservative Association notes the Commission’s guidance in relation to Councils that elect by thirds. Elmbridge Borough Council took the decision on 17th November 2014 to retain the by thirds electoral system. Considering the Commission’s guidance and the law, we consider that all new wards should have three members in order to ensure electoral equality for all voters in the borough. In addition to creating inequality, having a few wards that do not vote when the rest of the borough is voting causes confusion with the electorate. Elmbridge is made up of a number of towns and villages each with its own identity and, ideally, these would remain separated amongst electoral wards. However, this is not possible under the by thirds electoral system and it would take more than two or three exceptions to keep all the community boundaries. We believe that different communities can join together in electoral wards – like some do in the Surrey County Council divisions that cover the borough – without affecting or damaging the identities of those communities.

As a resident in the area which the Boundary Commission wishes to join to the ward of Long Ditton, I am dismayed to find that the ancient historic ties to Thames Ditton will be severed and any changes will have a negative effect on local identities. It is not in the interests of the local community to make these changes. People living in the affected area will feel alienated and will feel that they have an inferior standing in the community if their postal addresses and wards conflict. Residents may also be confused about which councillors to contact on issues. Furthermore, I have established relationships with the current local councillors and have communicated with them many times. In contrast, I do not even know the names of the Long Ditton councillors and do not want to have to go through the whole process of explaining ongoing issues again to a new set of people. It is also a great concern to me that these proposals have been issued when many residents will be on holiday.
