[email protected] Hotel Solutions June 2015 Surrey Hotel Futures Study 2015 __________________________________________________________________________________________ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY __________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Study Objectives and Purpose • The Surrey Hotel Futures Study has been undertaken by Hotel Solutions between October 2014 and June 2015 for Surrey County Council. The study seeks to provide an in depth analysis of the future opportunities and requirements for hotel development across Surrey to inform the future plans and policies of the County Council and its District and Borough Council and LEP partners in terms of the tourism strategy for the county, hotel planning policies as part of the future review and updating of Local Plans, and potential other public sector interventions to support and accelerate hotel development across the county. 2. Current Hotel Supply • Surrey has a current supply of 119 hotels with 7,746 letting bedrooms. • The county's hotel supply is predominantly a mix of 3 star, budget, and to a lesser extent 4 star hotels. Surrey also has a number of luxury destination country house and golf hotels, particularly on the western side of the county. It has a number of small, lower grade hotels, especially in Horley, catering for the Gatwick Airport market. Surrey has a very limited supply of boutique hotels. In addition to hotels there are supplies of serviced apartments in some of Surrey's larger towns that compete to at least some extent in the hotel market. • Surrey's 3 star hotel supply comprises predominantly small, independent 3 star hotels spread across the county's key towns. The county only has 3 large branded full service 3 star hotels and one limited service 3 star/ upper-tier budget hotel. Many of Surrey's small, independent 3 star hotels have seen little recent investment and appear to offer a somewhat tired and dated product. A number have been trading in administration in the last few years, but most now look set to see investment following acquisition by new owners. • Most towns in Surrey now have at least one budget hotel - either a Travelodge and/or a Premier Inn. • Most of the independent hotels in Horley offer a fairly basic standard of accommodation. Three hotels serving the Gatwick market are currently receiving significant numbers of 'Terrible' ratings on Tripadvisor. Customers otherwise appear to be largely satisfied with the hotels in this part of the county. Hotel Solutions i June 2015 Surrey Hotel Futures Study 2015 __________________________________________________________________________________________ • Most of Surrey's towns have fairly similar numbers of hotel bedrooms. Towns with more significant hotel supplies are Horley, Guildford, Woking, Weybridge, Epsom and Camberley. Larger towns with limited or no hotel provision are Esher (which has no hotels currently), Leatherhead, Redhill, Reigate, Caterham, Walton-on-Thames and the suburban areas of Ashford, Ewell and Molesley. 3. Recent Hotel Development & Changes in Supply • Surrey has seen a significant increase in budget hotel provision in the last 10 years, with the opening of 14 new budget hotels. Since 2005 the county has also seen the opening of a 4 star Marriott golf hotel at Lingfield Park racecourse; a small luxury hotel at Kingswood Golf Club at Tadworth; two 4 star hotels (in Guildford and Weybridge); a 3 star limited service Holiday Inn Express hotel at Epsom Downs racecourse; and a boutique inn at Claygate. Thorpe Park also opened the Thorpe Shark themed hotel in 2014, following a successful trial of a temporary hotel (The Crash Pad) in 2013. • Key focal points for new budget hotel openings have been Camberley, Sunbury and Woking. Guildford has been another focus for hotel development, with the opening of a new Travelodge in 2005 and the 4 star Radisson Blu Edwardian in 2011. • A number of Surrey's existing hotels have been refurbished and upgraded in the last 10 years and a few have added bedrooms. Two hotels in Guildford have repositioned as boutique hotels. The former 4 star Renaissance Gatwick Airport Hotel at Horley became a Travelodge

  • The Value of Using Local Political Online Forums to Reverse Political Disengagement

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract There has been a growing concern regarding political disengagement among citizens within liberal thin democracies. This concern has brought about calls for local political online forums to be used to support participatory and deliberative democracy online to reverse this trend. However, little empirical investigation has been conducted into what such forums can support in terms of participatory and deliberative democracy. After an extensive review of the E-Democracy literature three research questions were developed to examine the value of using online forums to reverse political disengagement. A two pronged methodological approach consisting of qualitative and two-phase quantitative methods was used to examine these research questions, and to test specific recommendations on how to build online forums.

  • Winners of the Pearson Trophy
    The Pearson Trophy The first 100 Years Foreword by Anne Cotton Chairman of the Pearson Trophy Management Committee 2011 marks the Centenary of The Pearson Trophy – a competition that has given great pleasure to countless golfers from Herts, Kent, Middlesex and Surrey over the past hundred years. The competition has grown from an entry of 12 clubs in its inaugural year to 176 in 2010. This year’s entry of 179 clubs has exceeded all previous records and shows that the competition continues to grow in popularity. A tremendous amount of hard work goes into running the Pearson Trophy every year, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Managers and their Deputies from the four counties for all they do to make the competition such a success. I would also like to thank them for the help they have given me in compiling this booklet. I hope you will all enjoy reading this short history of the Pearson Trophy. Let us hope that the competition continues for another hundred years, allowing future generations of lady golfers to derive pleasure from playing on other courses and making new friendships through participating in this very special event.
