The road rep spoke at the April committee meeting about the problems of overhanging hedges and cars parked on the pavement. It was agreed that he should draft a letter to residents of the road.
Double yellow lines are to be painted at Kings Rd / Ditton Hill Rd junctions. The St Mary’s Rd end of Fleece Rd is also being reviewed. Any related issues should be reported to Surrey County Council.
Cars parking on the verges are damaging the grass. Councillor Barry Fairbank is to check if Elmbridge Borough Council can take any action.
Consultation on proposed parking restrictions has begun, following the notice in the Surrey Advertiser. The deadline for comments is Friday 19 November. Copies of the plans can be viewed on the Surrey County Council website www.surreycc.gov.uk/parking (follow links to ‘On-street parking controls’ and ‘What’s going on in your area’).

Consultation on parking restrictions for Windmill Lane and nearby roads is imminent. It should take about six weeks for consultations to be completed. Restrictions may be put in place in Fleece Road but at a later date depending on funding.
It was reported that there had been a meeting of the Local Committee at which draft proposals for a range of parking changes had been presented, including Windmill Lane, Prospect Road and surrounding areas. Consultation with residents would take place over the next 2-3 months.
