Sturt Road Flood Alleviation Scheme

2023-05-21T17:49:27+00:00

Sturt Road Flood Alleviation Scheme Thanks to the relationships I have developed with Network Rail quizzing and meeting them on their proposals for The Hatches level crossing, I was able to get a lot of additional detail on the various issues and initiatives.

Fact Check : “Tory Councillor Says No To Hospital Improvements”

2023-05-21T15:33:57+00:00

Today a leaflet was distributed with this headline. The Councillor under attack was me. As a member of the SHBC Planning Committee, I voted against an application to ADD a four-storey patient services building to the Frimley site before traffic issues were addressed. Details of the application are here. A diagram of location is here. [...]

Esso have now entered "Stage 4" of the phasing I originally described in July 2022 here. I've reproduced it below, there are also some notes at the bottom on vibration levels that might be useful: Stage 4 – Date TBD: Balmoral Drive closed from 2nd Sandringham Road roundabout to Pevensey Way. This is shown on [...]

Karen Campion RIP

2023-04-24T11:12:21+00:00

Howard Thomson and I were devastated to receive the news that our fellow candidate in the Surrey Heath Borough Council election for Frimley Green, Karen Campion, had suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. I knew Karen for 20 years. She was always warm, feisty, and great company. Her passing came as a complete shock to all [...]

Esso Pipeline Balmoral Drive work – further delays announced

2023-03-20T12:10:03+00:00

Not surprisingly to residents, but still deeply disappointing, Esso have today announced further delays to the Balmoral Drive works, taking it to end of May 2023. Esso have told me that this letter is being sent to residents. One of the common questions asked is "Do Esso have to pay compensation/penalties for delays?" Esso are [...]

Network Rail Bridge at Spencer Close Proposal – what’s the real risk?

2023-02-16T12:08:45+00:00

Is the real risk of a bridge zero compared to the current crossing? Residents have challenged Network Rail's assumption that if they closed The Hatches level crossing, and replaced it with a bridge at Spencer Close, the risk would be zero. Network Rail say they do not consider the risk of replacement bridges in [...]

Esso Pipeline Ongoing Delays The Esso Pipeline project opened Balmoral Drive as promised before Christmas, but this week I was not the only one surprised to see the road surface broken up and Balmoral Drive closed again, with all the impacts of the diversions on local residents.
