Thanks to your fabulous support on 20 September in the by-election I was elected as a Borough Councillor in David Wood’s former seat. We secured 68% of the vote. I will do all I can to be a worthy successor to David and to be an effective Councillor for all the residents in Nonsuch Ward whether you voted for me or not. It was of course very sad for me to be standing as a result of David’s sudden death but I was content in the knowledge that David had encouraged me to put myself forward as a Borough Councillor a few months before his death. I was also delighted to be supported and encouraged in my campaign by David’s sister Barbara. I have now resigned as Chair of the Residents’ Association and would thank you all for the support and assistance you gave me during my tenure. We therefore have an immediate vacancy for a new Chair. My predecessor Keith Lugton has kindly agreed to be interim chair but he will not continue beyond the AGM in the Spring of 2019 so we urgently need a volunteer before then. I shall of course remain involved as I will be attending Nonsuch Ward RA and the Association of Ewell Downs Residents committee meetings as one of your Borough Councillors and shall remain as an Area Representative. We have a challenging six months ahead of us with the Epsom & Ewell Borough Council elections taking place in May 2019 when all Council seats, including the three in Nonsuch Ward are up for re-election. If you are interested in standing as a Councillor or wish to know what it involves please let us know. 2 Getting involved We are a very active and successful RA and have been since we began in 1937, 81 years ago, however this has only continued through the efforts and engagement of our residents. We do urgently need new volunteers to take up roles. You can do as much or as little as you like but the RA will only continue to be as successful if more residents are involved. The three area where you can make a difference are: Area Representatives Area Reps look after part of a road or a whole road or a few roads. They collect annual subscriptions once a year and deliver the twice- yearly Bulletin. At times of local elections, every 2 years, they deliver election material. They are encouraged to attend our monthly committee meetings but don’t have to and many of our most loyal Reps have never attended a meeting. Roles on the Committee We need a replacement Chair due to Colin’s election as a Councillor. We also need a Social Media Secretary and additional members of the Bulletin Editorial team. Councillors The last Bulletin in the Spring carried a two-page article on being a Councillor. We need the next generation of Councillors to come forward. Please contact us to discuss any roles you are interested in, we can explain what is involved, the support we can give and hopefully encourage you to join us. 3 Councillor David Wood It was with great sadness that we learned of the death in July of our long- serving RA Councillor, David Wood. David was an Epsom and Ewell man through and through. He lived in the Borough all his life. He was born in Ewell, was educated at Epsom College, and he qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1969. He had a fulfilling career in the Profession and commerce. He continued to live in Ewell. Then many years ago he moved to Nonsuch Ward, to Queensmead Avenue and later to the corner of Hays Walk and Nonsuch Walk, which was such a wonderful location for displaying election posters. He lived all his life with his sister Barbara to whom we express our deep sympathy on her loss. David first became an Epsom & Ewell Borough Councillor in 1995 when he was elected to represent Stoneleigh Ward. In the following Borough Council election in 1999, he was elected to represent Nonsuch Ward, which he continued to serve until he passed away. He has served on most of the Council Committees and has been chairman of the Environment Committee and of the Group of Residents Association Councillors. David was also a Surrey County Councillor from June 2009 to May 2013, representing the division covering Nonsuch Ward and Ewell and Stoneleigh. In 2006 - 2007, David was Mayor of Epsom and Ewell with his sister Barbara as Mayoress. David has been active in the local Residents Associations for many years including a period of being Chairman of the Nonsuch Park and District Residents Association. He was a passionate supporter of the residents of Epsom and Ewell and especially of Nonsuch Ward. His lifelong interest in the local environment and history made him a leading advocate that all local developments should fit in with the surroundings. One of his fellow long-serving Councillors said, “David was a deep thinker and his local knowledge and background served him well. As a member of the planning committee for most of his 23 years on the Council, his contributions were carefully evaluated and most valuable. David was very supportive of his colleagues and his passing is a great loss to the Council and the community.” 4 Nonsuch Ward update – Chris Frost Epsom Hospital The Borough Council agreed a statement on the hospital at a recent meeting. In summary, it said: “This Council has previously confirmed its support for the option proposed by Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust to have a new acute unit constructed on the current Epsom Hospital site. However, the Council views with concern the proposal to dispose of land forming part of the current Epsom Hospital site. This Council requests the Trust to halt any site disposal, enabling the site to remain available for the provision of future health and social care services for the residents of Epsom and Ewell and East Surrey. Given the housing pressures imposed on this Borough by central Government’s requirement of 579 housing units constructed per year for at least the next 20 years, the number of residents in our Borough could increase significantly, by an estimated 25,000 to 30,000. Residents of Epsom and Ewell require certainty with regard to their local hospital services and without the loss of service availability, and the disposal of land forming part of the Epsom Hospital site by ESHUH NHS Trust can only serve to reduce options for the future and threaten those locally delivered services.” Unauthorised encampments There were a number of groups of the travelling community in the area in August. One group, who were evicted from a Sutton location, ended up in Nonsuch Park. As it is a large space with multiple access points the Council does not have the resources to guard all these points 24/7. They had taken precautions to prevent an unauthorised encampment, including locking and securing the park gates and other measures, unfortunately these proved insufficient. 5 As is now becoming a regular process, a page was created on the news section of the Borough’s website, including a timeline and links to the process it has to follow. This meant that there was somewhere to direct residents to when they contacted the Council, whether it was by social media or the contact centre. The group in Nonsuch Park were served a Notice to Leave, and as they didn’t leave immediately a Court hearing had to be arranged, following which they left. All this costs us all a considerable sum of money, but we have to follow government regulation. Government re-think on negative RSG? Residents may have read about the council’s concerns about so called Negative Revenue Support Grant (RSG), which could see Epsom and Ewell Borough Council paying back over £600,000 of its retained business rate income to central government. This was grossly unfair and your RA-run council had made forceful representations that this decision should be reversed. There are some signs that the government might make some concessions. In a recent consultation about the 2019-20 financial settlement, the government has indicated that it will ensure that no council slips into ‘negative RSG’ by using its share of business rate income to offset the planned tariff charge. If confirmed this would be welcome news and would put EEBC in a better financial position for next year. But funding pressures remain intense and your Council will continue to adopt a mixture of efficiency savings and revenue generating measures, to protect services and keep local council tax levels amongst the lowest in Surrey.

  • Nonsuch Park
    Nonsuch Park Best Value Review Report and Improvement Plan January 2002 Nonsuch Park Best Value Review REPORT OF REVIEW Executive Summary The best value review of Nonsuch Park has been undertaken by a team drawn from the two authorities which fund the Park and which manage it through a Joint Management Committee drawn equally from the two authorities. In undertaking the review, the team commissioned extensive consultation of the many interested parties and made comparisons with other historic parks, notably the National Trust’s Morden Hall Park. The team also looked at current thinking on good practice such as the Green Flag scheme and recent findings of the Urban Green Spaces Task Force and considered the financial arrangements of the Park Joint Management Committee. This review has highlighted that there is a gap between current thinking on good management of historic country parks and the way Nonsuch Park has been managed in the past. The review puts forward a comprehensive package of proposals which aim to improve the recreational, ecological and historical potential of the Park. These include several proposals which can be implemented quickly at minimal cost and which would produce tangible evidence of the authorities commitment to continuous improvement. In addition, a number of potential sources of income and savings in current expenditure have been identified. A key finding of the review was that there was no clear policy statement describing the role the Park was intended to fulfil in the community. The review team has drafted

  • North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements
    Biodiversity Opportunity Areas: the basis for realising Surrey’s ecological network Appendix 6: North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog's Back ND02: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Guildford to the Mole Gap ND03: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Mole Gap to Reigate ND04: North Downs; Epsom Downs to Nonsuch Park ND05: North Downs; Banstead Woods & Downs and Chipstead Downs ND06: North Downs Scarp; Quarry Hangers to the A22 ND07: North Downs Scarp; Woldingham ND08: North Downs; Banstead & Walton Heaths December 2015 Investing in our County’s future Surrey Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statement Biodiversity Opportunity Area ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog’s Back Local authorities: Guildford, Waverley Aim & justification: The aim of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) is to establish a strategic framework for conserving and enhancing biodiversity at a landscape-scale, making our wildlife more robust to changing climate and socio-economic pressures. BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.

  • The Chalk Area of North-East Surrey
    188 THE CHALK AREA OF NORTH-EAST SURREY. By GEORGE WILLIAM YOUNG. (Read June 2nd, 1905.) LTHOUGH one might consider that the last word had A not been said about the Chalk formation as a whole, yet it might be fairly thought that if there was an area in the country which had been thoroughly explored and its structure accurately recorded, that area would be the Chalk of North-East Surrey. But notwithstanding its nearness to London, the number of observers who have given their attention, and the frequency with which some of the best-known sections have been visited by this and other scientific societies, I venture to think that the facts I am about to lay before you will show that even in this area there is still work to be done. When the first of the valuable series of papers on the White Chalk by Dr. Rowe appeared in our PROCEEDINGS my interest was aroused, and I looked forward with considerable anticipation to the publication of the last Volume of the Geological Survey Memoir on the Cretaceous formation, which was to deal with the Upper Chalk. With this volume I must confess I was somewhat disappointed. I fully admit that in many respects it is an admirable work. The labour entailed in its compilation must have been enormous. The wide area with which it deals; the valuable and detailed account of the microscopic structure of Chalk; the useful information and statistics it gives about the economic products and water supply; the exhaustive list of fossils and the bibliography given in the appendices; all testify to the great pains that have been bestowed upon it.

  • SURREY BOTANICALSOCIETY NEWSLETTER April 2008 No
    SURREY BOTANICALSOCIETY NEWSLETTER April 2008 No. 12 Polypodiums in Surrey George Hounsome Last November I acquired the use of a microscope capable of the degree of magnification necessary to clearly see the annulus of ferns, so as a winter project and to punish myself for unspecified sins I started to look at Polypodium spp. in Surrey. Three taxa have been recorded here: Polypodium interjectum, P.vulgare and the hybrid between them P. x mantoniae. In addition, some records are of P. vulgare sl, where the recorders were unsure of the species perhaps because they were sterile or they were not reachable for closer examination. To confuse the issue slightly, some older records of P. vul. ss. could be any of them because they were made before the genus was subdivided. I had three aims. The first was to check my own Polypodium records to see if I had got them right, the second was to visit the sites of records made by the stars of the past to see if the ferns were still there and the third was to look for new sites. The first of these was easily accomplished (and the necessary amendment made!), but the second and third will take more than a single winter! The oldest record in Mapmate is of P. vul. sl., growing on the walls outside Pyrford School (and still there), made in 1957 by Miss B. Welch (BW). Others were made by a variety of people, but recorders active in the ‘60s and ‘70s include Jack Gardiner (JCW), Alan Leslie (ACL), W.E.
