TRIBUNE COMMENT

MAKE A SMALL DIFFERENCE

B

ehind the scenes there are a number of organisations that are working tirelessly to keep the communities of Tadworth and Walton running - be it organising hanging baskets, clearing ponds or leading the Beavers and Cubs.

In this issue you can read on page 4 about the Tadworth & Walton Resident’s Association looking for residents to help create new ideas and proposals for projects and giving up some time to attend Committee meetings once a month (the third Tuesdays in the month).

While there is an urgent need for the Walton Cubs section which needs more Leaders and helpers. On page 23 you can find out how the Beavers and Cubs will be run at the same time in the Autumn term,

THE TADWORTH & WALTON

TRIBUNE

with additional helpers, so that the two sets of activities can take place at different ends of the Scout hall. In the Spring they plan to change the day and run the two sections separately at their usual times.

Finally, on page 10 the Walton Village Forum aims to raise awareness amongst residents in the community over the coming months and hoping to see an increase in involvement and attendance at the three meetings held each year.

Grant Webster sums it up perfectly by saying “I think it’s worth each one of us asking what we can do to make a difference and sometimes the smallest contribution can have the biggest impact.”

ollowing the May elections, and the enlargement of our ward to include Lower Kingswood, we are delighted that our hard working councillor, Rachel Turner, has been re-elected. We also congratulate our new ward councillors, Councillor Rod Ashford who lives in Lower Kingswood and Councillor Jamie Paul of Tadworth. We look forward to working with them and the Lower Kingswood Residents Association. We have attended the latter’s AGM and they ours, and we will liaise and assist on any major or contentious issues which affect our enlarged ward.

Have you visited the centre of Tadworth recently?

If so, did you notice the splendid colour which are the hanging baskets hanging from the lamp posts? Did you spot the magnificently replanted flower bed outside Budgens on Shelvers Hill? Did you see the newly refurbished fingerpost at the Tadworth traffic lights? Each is an example

of the variety of projects delivered by the TWRA on behalf of our community – albeit assisted by funding from either Reigate & Banstead Borough Council or Surrey County Council and the help of the Tadworth and Walton Tree Wardens with the replanting.

We would like some more residents to help us create new ideas and proposals for projects like these, to discuss them with our committee and assist seeing them through to completion. In terms of time you would need to be able to attend most of our Committee meetings once a month (the third Tuesdays in the month) and, whilst it is difficult to estimate, be prepared to give an average of around two hours per week. If you would like to discuss further, you may reach me at: clive.elcome@ukgateway.net Projects could involve helping with the social media, membership lists, and, following Walton’s example, issues such as do we need defibrillators in Tadworth.

e continue to monitor the planning applications in Tadworth and Walton.

There have been a number of proposals in Tadworth to demolish single dwellings in large plots and redevelop the sites for either apartments or large single family houses. We appreciate the need for new housing in our area, but several of these developments harm the amenities of their neighbours. There is also increasing concern at the inability of the road network to accommodate the

extra traffic and lack of capacity with our health and education facilities .The problems of on-street parking continue but unfortunately we failed to get the parking provision requirements increased within new development sites when giving evidence at the inquiry into the Council’s Development Management Plan.

Currently there are applications for a take away on the Station Buildings site, which is generally well supported, and a food outlet in the former hairdresser C O N T I N U E D O N PA G E 6

We have been notified of an appeal against the Council’s refusal of an application to extend the Holmwood nursing home at 53, The Avenue. Details are available on the Council’s website, reference 17/02279. The appeal will be dealt with through written representations and our earlier objections will be automatically forwarded to the Inspector.

In Walton, we have commented on draft plans for the development of the Kitlands Site in Hurst Drive, in conjunction with local residents. We consider that the current proposals, now with access onto Chequers Lane, give a much better layout. However, we have suggested to the developers, that in conjunction with Surrey County Council, they finance safety measures for pedestrians as there are no pavements on this stretch of Chequers Lane.

atricia Brookwick sets out elsewhere our concerns that Surrey County Council could be delaying our autumn planting programme and re-assessing its existing system. Its approach contrasts with that of some other authorities which actively carry out and encourage tree planting, bearing in mind the health, biodiversity, shade and any pollution benefits. We hope that the Council will take a more positive approach in future, particularly as we are financing and carrying out a function which was previously done by the County.

We have had several complaints about the tree felling on the Children’s Hospital land at Tadworth Court and the state of the A217 frontage. We have been in contact with the Council to see if anything can be done to improve the appearance of this woodland strip.

ollowing receipt of a grant under the Government’s ‘Pocket Park’ scheme for new play equipment, we have selected Fenland as our suppliers. The work will be carried out in the summer, ready for the official opening on Sunday, September 15th at 2.30pm. Please come along to this event, all welcome, especially if you have young children or grandchildren. We thank David Watts of Reigate and Banstead Council, who is the officer working with us on the project, for his assistance.

There will also be an unveiling of a new seat, provided by Council employees, in memory of Janet Hill, a very popular Council officer, who did much for our Tadworth and Walton community and was instrumental, together with Vic Broad, in creating the woodland park.

We are very grateful to the ‘Comms’ team, Janet’s work colleagues, who recently came to plant bulbs and clear paths in the vicinity of where the bench will be located. The Jubilee Woodland volunteers and the TWRA will be planting a native cherry tree, also in Janet’s memory later in the year.

We also intend to introduce a ‘Mini Library’ and additional bird boxes but any additional ideas will be gratefully received. We would also welcome new volunteers. We currently have a volunteering morning every few weeks

HEATHROW CONSULTATION

H

eathrow Airport Limited is currently consulting on its plans to expand the airport which involves the new third runway, diverting part of the M25, improved terminals and car parks. Details can be seen at www.aec.heathrowconsultation.com/plans The plans will also be available to view at Banstead and Epsom libraries.

This consultation does not cover changes to the flight paths which could result in the northern part of the borough being overflown far more frequently and at a reduced height.

Indications are of possibly 17 flights per hour for departures and 47 arrival flights per hour at heights as low as 3000ft.

Even if the third runway does not materialise, an increase in the number of flights is proposed, possibly up to 25 per hour, again at reduced heights. The TWRA objected to these proposals at an earlier consultation but it is unlikely that detailed flight path information will be available for some time.

at the Borough Council for your input and continued support.

Over the past 18 months the Village Forum has expanded its reach more deeply into the community and with the launch of the Pavilion @ Howard Close initiative we will need to raise a significant amount of money to be able to complete this project. The challenge with the Village Forum in its current guise is that funding sources are unlikely to take us seriously and so it was put to our members who attended a recent meeting that we establish the Walton Village Forum as a registered charity. This is the next evolution of our Village Forum and will allow our reach to extend wider within our community and allow us to access a far bigger pool of funding than we may otherwise be able to do. Members at the meeting voted overwhelmingly in favour of this approach and so over the coming months we’ll be moving this forward, so do watch this space!

We are pleased to report that Charles Mng’ome, who was recruited to be the outreach worker, has just completed his technical training course at Kilimanjaro Hospital. We received good reports of his progress whilst he was there.

TWOAT has also had a good few months with its local fund raising. During April our volunteers raised over £600 standing with collecting cans outside shops in Cross Road and the High Street in Tadworth, outside the Co-op in Walton and in Waterhouse Lane in Kingswood.

During May and June we ran our two John Allinson Memorial Ten Mile

Sponsored Walks which attracted over sixty participants between them and raised well over £2,000. They both followed the same figure of eight course centred on Brockham so walkers could conveniently stop after the first 5 miles if they wished. The first walk on Friday May 31 enjoyed fine weather, but it was not so good for the second one on Saturday June 8. Fortunately the walkers were having a coffee break in Dorking Golf Club when the heaviest downpour occurred. Many of the walkers, despite being local residents, confessed that they had never previously visited the ruins of the old lime kilns or of Betchworth Castle where they were impressed with the spectacular vistas from the castle C O N T I N U E D O N PA G E 2 0

The walks were enlivened with stories provided by local historian, Jean Clew, such as the use of horse-drawn railway wagons to ferry truckloads of lime on rails down from the quarries and kilns to join the mainline near Betchworth Station where horsepower was replaced by steam engines.

At the end of June we staged an Auction of Promises with good support from Friends of TWOAT and local businesses who pledged to provide goods or services that were made available for bidding. Initially this was online but it concluded with final bids being made at an event in St John’s Church, Tadworth on June 29. Over £3,000 was raised and TWOAT would particularly like to thank the local pubs and restaurants who pledged meals, the

Curzon Country Cinema provided two pairs of tickets, Chapmans a leg of lamb, No 7 Barbershop and J.G Hair Studio, both in Burgh Heath, also provided vouchers. Kingswood Golf Club and Kingswood LTC donated use of their facilities. A full list of the local businesses who supported the auction can be found on WWW.TWOAT.org The next two events for TWOAT will be selling Teas in Keith Lewis’ garden at 41 Shelvers Way during the afternoon of Sunday August 11th when it is opened as part of the National Garden Scheme and a BBQ being organised in aid of TWOAT

TOOLKIT TO FIGHT CRIME

N

eighbourhood Watch organisations operate at many different levels all the way from individual roads or parts of a road through boroughs and counties ultimately to the national level. Details of the national organisation’s activities can be found on their web site www.ourwatch.org.uk. One of their most important and visible functions is to help members of the public to find the location of their nearest local Watch, however, they are involved in a great deal more than this. The Police Alerting system in Surrey called InTheKnow is actually based on a system developed in conjunction with the national Neighbourhood Watch organisation. The underlying system is used by them for communicating with over half a million people who have signed up either for the Surrey system or one of the variants of it which are now used by over 70 public service organisations and police forces in the UK. As you might expect the national organisation publishes guidelines for how to set up a Neighbourhood Watch and how to use social media in this context. However, most recently the national organisation has gone beyond this somewhat inward looking role and started to produce and publish a series of toolkits to help raise awareness and combat a wide variety of different types of crimes, anti-social behaviour and other sorts of community problems. The current list of this type of toolkit is as follows: burglary; terrorism; domestic abuse; scams targeting older people; modern slavery; child sexual exploitation; serious violence and one community issue which is loneliness and vulnerability.

22

AUGUST 2019

The toolkits typically include articles; printable leaflets and posters; videos; PowerPoint presentations and links to other useful web sites. Thus if you examine the toolkit relating to modern slavery you will find guidance articles that will tell you that it is estimated that there could be over 100,000 people working in conditions of modern slavery. These might be immigrants from Rumania or Vietnam who have been brought to this country with promises of a bright future but then find themselves at the mercy of people who require them to work for an illegally low pittance wage or coerce them to become sex workers. The toolkit gives guidance on likely types of employment which might be in a nail bar or a car wash and explains the tell-tale signs which are that the employee may not be able to speak English and might be poorly dressed and will be short of money. In smaller towns or rural areas children are often sent to sell drugs, as part of the “county lines” type of crime where gangs are reaching out from urban areas.

Gangs exploit the fact that police powers are more constrained where a child is involved.

The child may be housed in a property taken over by the gang from a vulnerable person or a drug addict. The child will be kept there for a period of time – such properties are called trap houses and this is another variant of modern slavery.

If you visit the web site shown earlier you can examine the toolkits yourself by accessing the menu on the top right of the page and following the link to toolkits.

1ST WALTON ON THE BEAVERS AND CUBS

GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS

T

here has been good news and some not so good news for the 1st Walton Scout Group this year so far.

First of all, the good news. Our Beaver colony has been running very successful under the Guidance of Emma Reed and Ann Liddle with a regular dozen or so children attending. Thanks also to the parent helpers who stay on to assist in the activities. The team try to get a variety of activities into the programme, most leading to Badges. The Beavers recently spent some time in the Walton Woods den building and also in the Jubilee Woods bug hunting and building bug hotels, painting Walton Rocks and learning some basic first aid.

Unfortunately, our Cubs section has not been so successful as we are still in need of

Leaders and helpers. We have a plan however, particularly as some of the Beavers are now ready to go up to the Cubs. For the Autumn term we shall run the Beavers and Cubs at the same time, with additional helpers, so that the two sets of activities can take place at different ends of the Scout hall. In the Spring our plan is to change the day and run the two sections separately at their usual times.

We do need more volunteers however to run the two sections. We need parent helpers but most importantly we need people to step forward to take on Leadership roles. If you would like to get involved, please email waltonscoutgroup@hotmail.com. We would love to hear from you.

TADWORTH IN BLOOM

THREAT TO TREE PLANTING

W

e hope you have noticed and that you are enjoying the 35 beautiful hanging baskets that have been placed within the new Conservation Area, of Station Approach and Cross Way Road, Tadworth. The baskets went up at the beginning of June and will stay in place until early September. They are being watered and maintained on a regular basis to keep them looking fresh and attractive.

The hanging basket tree and the three baskets hanging from it, at the junction of Cross Road and Ashurst Road, was funded by a generous community donation from One Stop. The other baskets were funded through donations from our Reigate & Banstead Councillors and the following businesses: Pfizer, The Bridge Restaurant, Chapman & Son Butchers, Tadworth Tyres, Nethercott Opticians, Fadi Tailors, Simply Dry Cleaners, The Flower Pot, Studio C Hair Design, Thai Cottage Restaurant, Peter & Co. Accountants and Farm Fencing.

Huge thanks from the TWRA to these organisations and our local councillors for their kind and thoughtful contributions in helping to make Tadworth a more attractive place in which to live.

We very much hope that you will enjoy the floral displays and that we can increase and enhance our efforts in 2020.

Hedge Cutting – to cut or not to cut?

The general advice is never to cut during the bird-nesting season. In Surrey this is from mid-March to the end of July.

Surrey Highways confirm that ideally highway hedges should be cut on a two or even three-year rotation. It is not recommended to cut the same hedge every year except where necessary for road safety or if the hedges contain fast growing species

24

AUGUST 2019

such as ash, sycamore or willow.

This is because most trees and shrubs in hedges only produce flowers, nuts and berries (such as haws and sloes) on year-old twigs, cutting hedges every year means that they provide little food for insects, birds and mammals.

However if you hedge is obscuring the highway, please be thoughtful and carefully trim it back so that pedestrians can pass without having to walk into the road.

Tadworth Street Tree Project IS OUR PROJECT IN DANGER? Following the TWRA street tree regeneration programme, where 106 new street trees have been successfully planted over the last few years, the 2019 street tree planting plans were submitted to SCC for approval for planting this December. The plans have been have been put on hold by Surrey Highways.

Surrey Highways have advised us as follows: “Thank you for the details of the tree planting that you wish to carry out this year, at the moment we are undergoing a review of our tree planting process, so are not

T R I B U N E To advertise call 01737 222307 or visit www.mylocalpages.co.uk

TADWORTH IN BLOOM

processing any applications at the moment.

Until this process is finalized we will hold your details on file and update yourself once this has been agreed.”

This is of great concern. SCC have a poor track record of street tree planting and admit that no street tree planting has taken place, or been funded by the council, since 2004. Hundreds of street trees have been felled during that time – approximately 30 in Tadworth last winter alone. Surrey have confirmed themselves that the volume of trees removed can be quite high – up to 50 per week!

We represent local residents who are greatly in favour of the street tree-planting scheme. We want our streets to remain green and leafy and the TWRA have raised the funds and resources required in order to achieve this.

We trust that Surrey will not draw out this

process and that we may continue with our December planting plans as scheduled. The new sites have already been selected and our eager residents have signed up for a period of watering and care of the new trees.

Tadworth Finger Post Sign We are almost there! The post has been painted and the beautifully created new fingers have been attached. The finishing flourish to this circa 1930’s sign, an important part of Tadworth’s heritage, will be the Tadworth finial. Our restorers, ‘Heritage Finger Post Signs’ in Reigate, are in the process of making this. Once complete we hope to mark the occasion with a small ceremony. Our sincere thanks go to Surry County Councillor Jeff Harris and the funding he generously donated from his Highway Member Fund.

They bring their own blend of wit, humour, charm and vocal arrangements to their performances. See footage of their performances www.tenorsunlimited.com/media The group will be joined by two school choirs.

Burton’s film “Alice in Wonderland” and has sung in numerous cathedrals such as Chichester, Exeter and Wells. They will be joined by the Chinthurst School choir, which is part of the Reigate Grammar School family.

The concert is in aid of the Pipe Organ Restoration Appeal for The Church of The Good Shepherd, Tadworth.

To book tickets visit www.tenorsunlimited.com/tour Heather Wooddin from The Pipe Organ Restoration Appeal, The Church of The Good Shepherd, Tadworth, says, “We are so pleased Tenors Unlimited are putting on this show in aid of our appeal to restore the church organ.

popular classics, “The Pearl Fisher’s Duet” and “Nessun Dorma” mixed with crooner and pop favourites. These include “Barcelona”, “Recipe For Love”, “Mr Blue Sky”, “From Now On” (The Greatest Showman) “Always on My Mind” (Elvis Presley), All I Ask of You (Andrew Lloyd Webber), Sound of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel), and Tonight (West Side Story) as well as songs written by the group themselves.

Jem Sharples from Tenors Unlimited says “We are delighted to be performing this special concert in aid of The Pipe Organ Restoration Appeal at The Church of The Good Shepherd. We’ve chosen a variety of songs - old favourites, new numbers, modern pop songs and some we’ve written ourselves. There’s something for everyone.

We’re looking forward to working with the school choirs.”

About The Pipe Organ Restoration Appeal The church organ at The Church of The Good Shepherd, Tadworth, has served the community for over 100 years and is in need of renovation. Built by Abbott & Smith, it was installed at the church in 1912. It is essential to Sunday services and plays a major role in weddings, funerals and special events. It is used by Chinthurst and Tadworth Schools for school services, played at concerts and used for practice by those learning the instrument. The Restoration Appeal has already raised £76,000, but this is only half of what is required.
