I met with Surrey Highways yesterday (along with a fellow councillors, District, County and Parish).
On a positive note a lot of progress has been made in repairing pot holes across Oxted South and was report that the broken paving slabs outside the Londis shop on the Hurst Green road will be replaced with tarmac.
The most interesting aspect (although deeply depressing) was that the County Council have absolutely no leverage over EDF Energy in connecting and repairing electrical connections for street lights. If EDF refuse to act, there are no sanctions that can be taken against them. And this situation is enshrined in legislation. We are all therefore at the mercy of EDF for our street lighting.... The lack of lights on the footbridge connecting Nunnappleton way and Pollards Oak road will unfortunately carry on for some time.
