11/1103County Councillor Cllr Windsor advised all residents to complete the Surrey transport survey, particularly with their views on community transport and concessionary travel. Following the results of the speed survey Wasp Green Lane and Miller’s Lane have been approved for a reduction in speed limit to 30mph, and Brickfield Road, Dayseys Hill and Rookery Hill to 40 mph. The first priority will be Miller’s Lane. Cllr Windsor also advised of the GACC protest on LGW noise pollution on 22ndNovember. The works taking place off Green Lane were discussed; investigations are being carried out as to why the temporary planning application was sent to Reigate and Banstead Council and not TDC. Cllr Frow has been in touch with the TDC Chief Executive on this matter. Cllr Windsor to look into why Brickfield Rd does not appear on the gritting map at all.
11/1104 District Councillor Cllr Bond reported on the consultation on traveller sites which TDC have now responded to, and reminded residents of the new recycling arrangements which will be in place from 1st December, which mean that batteries, small electrical items and textiles will be collected weekly from the road side.

11/1111 LH Playground Mr R Messenger advised that the contractor building the new Lloyd Hall will be levelling out the land at the back, re-sowing any grass where necessary, and providing and installing the playground surface. The contractor will therefore need to know what kind of surface is required by Jan 2015. It is expected that TDC will continue to maintain and carry out safety checks on the equipment, and it is hoped that the MUGA can also be included in this arrangement, but there may be a fee.
