  • Parish Magazine – October 16 Issue Shere Surgery
    Parish Magazine – October 16 issue Shere Surgery – visitors to Shere surgery should be pleasantly surprised by the ease of dropping off patients outside the surgery, soon. This area gets very muddy in the autumn and winter and is difficult to negotiate, particularly for elderly or disabled people. So this autumn, Surrey Highways will be tidying it up. There will be a new pavement and kerb to the road along the full length of the surgery and car park frontage and also a kerbed dropping off bay. The Parish Council has contributed towards the cost by purchasing the conservation granite-style kerbing which will match the rest of the kerbing in the village. The Parish Council will also tidy up the messy verge. Vine Cottages, Shere – some of the kerbing bought by the Parish Council (see above) is being used to raise the pavement outside Vine Cottages, at the junction of Middle Street and Gomshall Lane. Together with associated drainage works, this should help to prevent flooding outside Vine Cottages. Currently, after a heavy downpour, those properties are left with a sea of mud and debris that washes down from London Lane, outside their houses, so the Vine Cottages owners particularly welcome this scheme. HGV routes – see Village Voices for a progress report on action to prevent HGVs travelling through Shere. Disabled parking bay in Middle Street, Shere – you may have noticed that there is a new parking bay for disabled people, in Middle Street, just down from the Co-op. Thanks to Guildford Borough Council’s parking team for installing the bay.
