Dear Cllr

I am writing to advise you that we will be closing the road on the

To facilitate this we will need to close the road from 9:30 until
16:00 on each Friday to enable us to park our lorry near to the site.
There will be no access for vehicles during this time.
Outside of the above closures, we will continue to use three way
lights until the end of the works.
Please find attached the leaflet for the surfacing work on Sun Brow, Haslemere. The leaflets are due to be delivered tomorrow (6th September).
The works are scheduled to start on 18 September under a
road closure and will take place over 3 days, from 8am – 4pm.
Please see the attached leaflet for the extents of our
work.
Sometimes our plans have to change, often due to bad
weather or problems on other works in the same programme which can have a knock
on effect. If anything changes with the details of these works, we will let you
know. You and your residents can also find up to date details of the works on https://roadworks.org/?113903164

GENERAL NEWS
I am pleased to advise that SCC’s drainage maintenance subcontractor, Drainline, took over provision of this service from Flowline as of Monday morning. All but one of the operatives has transferred across, and Drainline have provided a number of brand new machines, which will improve productivity and reduce the number of breakdowns. This will be at no additional cost to the County Council. There remains a limited backlog of work which was not completed by Flowline, but, Drainline are expected to complete this work by the end of this month.

This petition was given consideration for Haslemere:
“We the undersigned petition Surrey County Council to Reduce speed limit to 20mph on Critchmere Hill / Woolmer Hill Road. Better speed bumps. Reduce speed limit to 20mph. Red markings on road. School and nursery on this road.”
The discussion for this petition is included in the webcast below. The item begins 54 minutes in. My comment begins 1 hour 3 minutes in. (For some reason, part of what I say in the response gets cut off.)
I would be grateful if you would publicise our next Teen Parenting Course to the families you come into contact with. This course is funded by Surrey County Council through Tennyson’s Sure Start Children’s Centre. The course is FREE to families on low income and is heavily subsided to all other parents by Surrey County Council.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like any more
information.
Please find attached a two page summary on each of our transformation business cases, along with slides that I hope you find useful by way of background.
