  • Surrey Future Congestion Programme 2014
    Congestion Programme 2014 i Foreword Surrey is renowned for its strong economy and high quality environment of open countryside and historic market towns. It is a great place in which to live, work and do business. However, congestion and past lack of investment in transport infrastructure are having a negative impact on Surrey’s economic competitiveness. Managing congestion on Surrey’s roads – which are some of the busiest in the country - is urgently needed to improve traffic flow and to avoid wasting time in traffic jams and losing business through delayed journeys. Surrey Future, which brings together local authorities and businesses to agree strategic infrastructure priorities for Surrey, have developed this Congestion Programme to help ensure Surrey’s economy remains strong and that planned growth set out in local plans is managed in a sustainable way. Building on the Surrey Transport Plan Congestion Strategy (2011), it sets out a strategic programme for tackling Surrey’s road congestion problems. We consulted with a wide range of residents, businesses and organisations during 2013 on a draft version of this Congestion Programme, and a number of changes have been made to this final version as a result of the comments we received. Those who responded broadly supported the aims and approach of the programme and we will work together with businesses, Local Enterprise Partnerships, new Local Transport Bodies and Government to help deliver our programme. We would like to thank all those who responded and contributed to making this programme as relevant and up-to-date as possible. Local Transport Strategies are now being developed for each district and borough and there will be consultations on these during 2014.

With most of fixtures at Step 6 and above called off because of the dreaded Coronavirus, it was down to one of the feeder leagues to get my fix today. So, not wanting to catch anything on public transport, apart from a train or two of course, I elected to drive to my game and I picked one that is, as far, as I know, very difficult to do by public transport. It took me just over two hours to get here and the ground is adjacent to the village hall, not that they really need one, as this is a very small village. The changing rooms are wooden and here I bumped into the jovial home management team, who pointed me in the direction of the local pub. After my recent experience of paying £4 for a pulled pork roll at the Hampshire FA ground, I thought that I couldn’t do any worse here. I was wrong. The chilli con carne with pasta with garlic bread (two slices) for £4.50 looked tempting and when it arrived it tasted nice. Problem was that it came in a large coffee mug! Back at the ground I mentioned this to my ‘trip advisor’ who told me, “I forgot to tell you that the food’s not very good!" Perhaps the clue was that no one came around to ask me if I was enjoying my meal, possibly because I didn't give them time, as I ate it in a few mouthfuls! Anyway, by now we were ready to go and once the rotund ref had finished off his fag the game soon got underway.

Miscellaneous Extracts 106 2 19.3.76 INTRO: THE STOVOLD FAMILY IN SURREY I have searched many old church registers, both of Elstead and Farnham, of baptisms and marriages to trace the family history in Surrey. The name Stovold appears more than any other. I have only dealt with one branch which appears to be a direct male line. The last six generations contain the name Frederick and the dates of birth are fairly authentic. Earlier registers may refer to baptisms or dates of birth, it is not always clear. One Christian name, the same as the father’s, made things more difficult. The family could be of Scandinavian origin. It is thought they may have come over at the time of the Vikings in the Ninth Century and, in fact, before the First War my Great Uncle Percy traced the name back to the time of William the Conqueror.

  • ~ 1 ~ BUS and COACH TRANSPORT in WRECCLESHAM. Introduction
    BUS AND COACH TRANSPORT IN WRECCLESHAM. Introduction Bus and Coach transportation, in Farnham, and more particularly in Wrecclesham, has a long history. From the start of the 18th Century to the present day the use of the bus or coach for transport has been subject to massive change. The earliest timetabled services were provided by the Stage coach. With the arrival of rail transport, in later Victorian times, the provision of bus services to connect passengers with the rail network attracted the interest of the railway companies. In the early years of the 20th Century, the arrival of the bus company, as a means of connecting village and rural communities with their nearby towns, led to a rapid expansion of bus travel and the growth of local bus companies. Associated with this was the development of coach travel. Small coach companies were developed, initially for the demand that existed for day trips. These were attractive for organisations and groups of people seeking to escape their local areas, perhaps to get to the coast or local beauty spots, or to transport both users and spectators to various sports events. More recent growth in car ownership, has placed bus services under pressure. This has understandably led to a sharp reduction in the service, particularly to and from the more remote rural villages. In fairly recent times public subsidy has proved essential to enable bus companies to survive. In country areas provision of bus services is now seen as a social service. Car ownership has also put pressure on coach use and many of these coach companies have turned their attention to school runs and/or promoting tourism, providing holidays and transporting tourists to opportunities both within the UK and abroad.
