LD_Map_KPAs we reported earlier, changes in the number of electoral wards may lead to changes in local boundaries. Elmbridge Borough Council is asking local people and groups for their help in producing a new pattern of wards and accommodating 48 councillors instead of 60.

Details are on the Elmbridge website here with a link to the consultation. Views need to be submitted by 31 March 2015.

LD_shops_KPSurrey are reviewing our bus services across the county and would like to know how you use it. The review will ensure Surrey spend their budget on the most needed routes. The review will focus on the following three aspects of local transport.

• The council’s subsidy of all local bus services.
• The provision of community transport in the county, and how this can be made more commercial.
• SCC-funded discretionary concessions for disabled person’s pass holders and holders of companion passes.

The aim of the review is to make savings while maintaining the services that residents rely on most, such as services that get people to work, hospitals and schools.

To help achieve this, they have launched a public consultation, running until 2 February 2015. Please click on the following link below for more details and to complete the online survey:
https://www.surreysays.co.uk/e-i-directorate-programme-group/local-transport-review.

A hard copy of the survey is available from libraries, district and borough and parish council buildings and bus stations.

Elmbridge Borough Council is consulting on whether there should be all-out elections every four years (all the Councillors being elected together every four years) or continue electing by thirds as it does so now (every three out of four years a third of Councillors standing for election). This is as a result of the Council deciding to reduce the overall number of Councillors in the Borough.

For more information and to have your say visit the following page on the Elmbridge Borough Council website: http://www.elmbridge.gov.uk/council/elections/Votingfrequency.htm

Reduction in number of Councillors may result in loss of village identity

Long Ditton Residents’ Association is liaising with Hinchley Wood Residents’ Association and Thames Ditton and Weston Green Residents’ Association and we will be making a joint response. The associations feel that at a time of austerity and cuts, the Council should not have embarked on the exercise; and if it wished to, residents should have been consulted before the Council took the decision to reduce the number of Councillors. As any reduction in Councillors will result in boundary changes, all three residents’ associations are keen to ensure that village identities are not lost. The three associations have agreed that they would like the Council to retain the current system of election by thirds and that a clear message is sent to the Electoral Commission that residents would want to retain ‘community identities’.

Deadline for comments (via the above webpage) is Sunday 2 November if you feel strongly about this issue.

We are always looking at ways to improve communications with residents of Long Ditton.

The Streetlife website is a really useful way of sharing information with people in our immediate neighbourhood. We are inviting you to join, if you are interested, by going onto the Streetlife website: https://streetlife.com/a/LDRA. If you decide to join, please indicate that you were introduced by the LDRA. Doing this means that we benefit too because a small fee is paid to us – however, this offer is only available during October! Just type ‘LDRA’ in the introduction box – thank you.

We have set up our own link on the site for the LDRA:  https://www.streetlife.com/page/long-ditton-residents-association/ which in turn has a link to this website. However, we think residents may find Streetlife useful as an extra means of seeing what is happening in the local area and sharing information. This is Streetlife’s press release which gives more details:  https://www-static.streetlife.com/s/assets/streetlife-press-release.pdf?1403188571 

We hope you agree that this is a really useful way of communicating with people in our area and that you will consider signing up – remembering to put ‘LDRA’ in the introduction box!

Please note our AGM is on 20 November at 8pm at St Mary’s Junior School, Sugden Road, where you will have the opportunity to meet our councillors and police team and ask them questions.
