Last week I met with the Leader of Surrey County Council (who is also the Oxted County Councillor) and the East Surrey Highways team to raise a number of issues concerning local people. The Parish Council had submitted a long list of lights not working and potholes in Oxted South, but I mentioned four issues of particular concern (all of which are long standing problems):
1 - Inadequate Drains on Coltsfoot which causes frequent flooding
2- Lack of lighting on the Railway Footbridge connecting the Pollards Oak Road Shops to Nunnappleton Way
3 - The state of the tactile pavingstones outside the Londis on Hurst Green Road.
4 - Poor lighting on a footpath in the Red Lane development.
The Highways team took these away and promised a meeting in the New Year to discuss progress.
More postively - plans for the pavement extension and completing the parking restictions around Mill Lane and Hallsland Way are well advanced and should be dellivered early in the spring (with a possibility that the parking restrictions could be in place before the end of December.)
