  • 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.

  • East Horsley Parish Council
    June17th 2014 East Horsley Parish Council This is an application by East Horsley Parish Council under regulation 5 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (the "Regulations") for the designation of the Civil Parish of East Horsley, Surrey as a neighbourhood area. The Area The area in question relates to the Civil Parish of East Horsley, with boundaries as shown on the map below:- Page | 1 Statement - Why the Parish of East Horsley is appropriate to be designated as a Neighbourhood Area East Horsley is a civil parish within the administrative area of Guildford Borough Council. East Horsley covers 740 hectares, lying between the parishes of Effingham, West Horsley, Ockham and Abinger. It abuts the parish of West Horsley on its western boundary but otherwise is surrounded by farmland and open spaces, some of which is Woodlands Trust (Great Ridings Wood) or Surrey Wildlife Trust (Holliers Wood). To the south of the Parish, there is the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, encompassing Effingham Forest on the North Downs. For planning purposes the village is completely in the Metropolitan Green Belt. The settlement area is semi-rural and is defined by Ockham Road North and South, Forest Road and Epsom Road (A246). To the south of the A246 the Parish is rural. The boundaries are shared with Effingham, West Horsley, Ockham and Shere. As underlined by the fact that each of the Parish Councils of East and West Horsley are making separate applications under the Regulations for designations of their respective Parishes, each community regards itself as having very much a distinct identity with very different histories, characteristics and dynamics to the other.
