Hinds, Alex From: Mayers, Mishka on behalf of reviews Sent: 29 July 2015 09:20 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Hersham Ward Boundary Changes - Objection Letter. From: Paul Addison Sent: 28 July 2015 19:23 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Hersham Ward Boundary Changes ‐ Objection Letter. Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to object to the proposed local government boundary changes. My objections are as follows: 1. Burwood Park is closely associated with Hersham Village, not Oatlands Village. It is physically separated by a railway line. 2. Hersham is more of a rural area than Oatlands. The proposed new wards are therefore not orientated correctly. 3. Future planning issues involving Burwood Park could be considered in the context of the largely residential nature Oatlands, rather than the more rural context of Hersham Village. 4. The proposed boundary change results in a change in Parliamentary boundary from Esher and Walton to Weybridge and Runnymede. Yours sincerely, Paul Addison 1 Starkie, Emily From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 24 August 2015 16:43 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Elmbridge boundaries ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐ From: Mrs Angela R. Adler Sent: 24 August 2015 10:48 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Elmbridge boundaries Dear Sirs I strongly object to Summer Road, Gardens and Avenue being taken out of the East Molesey ward. We have absolutely no connection with with either Thames Ditton or Weston Green whichever one you lump us in with.

I object to the proposal to reduce residents' access to consultation by reducing the number of ward councillors. I object to the amalgamation of ward Walton South with Walton Ambleside: these two areas have very different issues, and the amalgamation would water-down and even nullify by cancelling-out any meaningful consultation. The proposal is contrary to the ethics of a listening and consultative Council.

This has been the home in which I have raised my family. I am extremely concerned about the boundary changes that are being proposed for Burwood Park. Your proposal to move Burwood Park into Oatlands Park Ward not only contravenes Elmbridge Borough Council’s recommendations but also raises numerous issues. I am objecting to your proposal on the following grounds: 1) The proposed boundary changes move Burwood Park from an orientation to Hersham Village, to which it shares a postcode, to Oatlands, from which it is physically separated by a railway line 2) Burwood Park has an affinity with Hersham Village due to the rural nature of the community compared to Oatlands, which is a residential area with no natural centre. Residents of Burwood Park use the facilities of Hersham Village for shopping, the library, the doctor’s surgery and the Park lies within the parish of St Peter’s Church. The proposed new Wards are therefore not orientated correctly 3) There is a risk that future Burwood Park planning issues will be considered in a residential context rather than the rural environment, which exists today. The current Hersham orientated local councillors understand and fully support the interests of Burwood Park residents 4) The proposed boundary change to move Burwood Park into the Oatlands Ward, results in a change in parliamentary boundary ‐ from Esher and Walton to Weybridge and Runnymede. There are currently no Elmbridge Borough Wards across Parliamentary boundaries. This is a mis‐match, which other Wards do not suffer and will add complexity for residents to navigate and gain support for specific local issues. I strongly urge you to re‐consider the boundary changes and retain Burwood Park and the surrounding roads in the Hersham Ward.

As a resident of the estate myself, my family uses the Hinchley Wood shops; we worship at St Christopher's Church, Hinchley Wood; and all three of my children have attended Hinchley Wood primary school and secondary school. We have no connections whatsoever with Long Ditton and it is therefore unreasonable to expect us to be represented by a councillor representing Long Ditton; indeed he or she could not do so adequately. If Hinchley Wood is to be merged with Weston Green ward, then clearly that is where our estate belongs, both geographically and in terms of community identity and proper electoral representation.

We fully support this inclusion as in our view the communities of Lower Green and Weston Green are inseparable, sharing many links and local facilities. We have lived in the area for nearly twenty years and have been especially involved with Cranmere School which all four of our children attended. We have both been Parent Governors and Chairs of the PTA at Cranmere. Over the years both Committees have been made up of many parents resident in Weston Green; indeed, throughout its existence Cranmere School has served families from both communities and so the links are long‐standing and deep, not just on an educational level but also socially. In addition the school has built up links with the Parish Church of Weston Green, All Saints – for example Harvest Festivals and Carol Concerts take place within the church. Cranmere has played a very important role in making Weston Green and Lower Green a cohesive geographical area and with its relocation to Arran Way next year, it will be especially important to maintain that cohesion and community element. Thank you for your consideration. Yours faithfully Wanda Petrusewicz-Allen and John Allen 1 Starkie, Emily From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 24 August 2015 16:46 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Elmbridge: Objections to LGBCE proposals for Thames Ditton Ward From: MIke Allport Sent: 23 August 2015 21:33 To: reviews <[email protected]> Cc: Subject: Elmbridge: Objections to LGBCE proposals for Thames Ditton Ward Elmbridge: Objections to LGBCE proposals for Thames Ditton Ward Dear Sir/Madam 1. Because of historical Ward and Parish boundaries, as residents of we have always regarded Thames Ditton as the centre of our community. We look to services provided by St Nicholas Church, Giggs Hill Surgery, Thames Ditton Library, Community Centre, Vera Fletcher Hall and the Post Office. To cast us adrift from the heart of our community is surely contrary to the Commission’s aim to reflect community identity. 2. More importantly we would no longer be supported by a Residents Association Councillor on Elmbridge Council. (Long Ditton Residents Association does not put forward candidates in local elections). The Thames Ditton & Western Green Residents Association goes to great lengths to consult on local issues and to represent our views on the council.
