Cars causing obstruction will face fines
After Easter the Police are planning to keep checking any cars obstructing Wheelers Lane during school drop off and pick up times. They will warn people first, but then they intend to issue tickets.

Action Theme Park in Tilehurst Lane

We have been in contact with Mole Valley Planning and Environmental Health Departments regarding the proposed action theme park due to take place at Bushbury Farm. Although this is within Betchworth Parish Council control, the obvious by-products of noise pollution and increased traffic will greatly affect Brockham. There does appear to be a planning loophole, which permits this, and it may be a case of watching how the first one goes on May 16th to see how we can prevent any others. Concerned residents could contact Mr Primrose, the Mole Valley Planning Enforcement Officer on 01306 879386.

Waste Reduction Workshop
If anyone would like to participate in a workshop on waste reduction, Surrey County Council would like to hear the views of the community whilst developing its waste local plan. Please contact me on 842113 and if we can get sufficient interest, I will arrange the workshop.

Continuing problems with highways, ditches and drains

Councillor Hammond has yet again been in touch with Roger Archer-Reeves from Surrey County Council about the continuing problems we have with highways, ditches and drains. It seems he has limited resources with which to work and we are exploring other means of expressing our dissatisfaction with the situation.
Our next meeting is on Monday 10th May in the Church Hall at 8.00pm. Public time is 9.00pm. All are welcome.
