Our next Full Parish Council meeting will be held on Monday 10th November 2025 at the earlier time of 7.30pm (now the days are shorter) in the village hall.
Directional Finger Post Signs
The Parish Council, with the support of Kirstie Havard and Helyn Clack, is looking to replace the fingerpost sign at the top of Henfold Lane with a more traditional directional sign, similar to those in Leigh and Betchworth village. This will be the first one to be replaced, and if funding allows, we hope to replace a second sign too.
Public Rights of Way
The Surrey County Council Countryside Access team is responsible for ensuring all the county’s rights of way remain accessible to all who use them each year. As the team increasingly rely on people submitting reports to highlight any problems they encounter, please continue to report any concerns on the Report it Section on the Surrey County Council website or call 0300 200 103.
Surrey Highways & Verges
Residents have raised concerns regarding hedgerows and verges that are overgrowing onto the highway obstructing sight lines and resulting in cars being scratched along the narrow lanes and along the Surrey cycleway. Highway verges are the responsibility of Surrey County Council. If it is a residential property, it is the owner’s responsibility to cut back the hedges if they are overhanging a highway, and if this is not being done, it can be reported as a road safety issue, Surrey County Council will then send a letter to the owner asking them to do so.
