Water Mains Replacement - A244 - June 2008 - April 2009 - Long Delays expected

We are planning to start the water mains replacement scheme in Oxshott Road/Leatherhead Road/High Street (A244) during early-June (starting at the Ashstead/M25-end and working towards the junction of Steels’ Lane in the High Street). This is an age and condition scheme to carry out the following work: Replace 6” dia. cast iron main with 180mm dia. polyethylene (2500m) including service transfers Abandon 3” cast iron main (830m), including service transfers, to rationalise the network We aim to complete the work by end-April 2009, using traffic light control for the duration. The main-laying works should be complete by December, followed by service transfers to complete the scheme. I am aware this is a major road scheme which will cause some disruption to local residents. I have arranged for a press release, letter to residents (adjacent to the main road) and advanced warning signs. We also intend to carry out mains replacement in some other private roads during 2009.

The private roads involved are:

Wrens Hill
Pachesham Park
A243 Kingston Road
The Chase
Manor Way
Hardwick Close
Danes Way
Mead Way
High Drive
Woodsway

Unfortunately I am unable to provide you with a precise programme for the private roads at this stage, however as a guideline: · We are seeking to progress the Wrens Hill scheme late-Summer/early-Autumn 2008 · We propose to commence Pachesham Park, Kingston Road and The Chase during early-2009 · The remaining schemes should follow, in the order shown, for the remainder of 2009.

Envisage - The Cobham, Oxshott and Stock D'Abernon Town Appraisal - is coming! A general questionnaire will be delivered to all residents in the next few weeks. Make sure you fill it in to give local authorities your views on what improvements can be made to our environment. Funds may be able to be found for good projects.

 
Nick Owen, Manager of Lower Mole Countryside Management Project is plotting a guided walk of the Chessington Woodlands on Monday 7th July, 2pm. Places are limited as parking is limited. Walk will be 2-3 hours over a mile and a half and will cover woodland wildlife and management issues. The site is said by some to be the fourth best woodland in Greater London for its ground flora and there is some very interesting management starting up this winter. To book a place, call the Project on 01372 743 783. No fee as such, but a donation to the Lower Mole Trust would be nice.
 
Total Filling Station Oxshott - The treasurer has noticed and pointed out to me that our local newspaper, the Esher News and Mail, sometimes contains (on about page 9/10) reader offers for 3p a litre off petrol and half price top car washes. This makes prices much more competitive with other local filling stations.
