Some of our recent achievements
 

In addition to the many day to day residents' issues we pick up and assist with, here are some of the initiatives which we have lobbied for and issues we have resolved:

Campaigning

  • In January our campaign for an HGV ban on Brooklands Road  was successful after 1,227 residents signed the Surrey e Petition.  We will continue to actively follow up on progress to ensure prompt implementation

  • Supported residents and worked with water authorities to prevent flooding on the corner of St George’s Ave and Towers Walk.

  • Improvements benefiting families using Brooklands Community Park. This included installation of toilets, an additional children's play area and enlarging the car park

Roads and Safety

  • Worked with Network rail for the addition of the zebra crossing and railings to protect  pedestrians at the Weybridge Station forecourt

  • Construction of pedestrian island in Queen's Road

  • HGV parking restriction in Redhill Road to prevent overnight parking

  • HGV parking restriction in Old Avenue to regulate contractors traffic for St George's Hill and yellow lines in Chaucer Avenue and Spencer Avenue
