PEASLAKE COMMUNITY COUNCIL

(Our very own 'Vicar of Dibley' meeting)

The last meeting was held on Monday 7th July. Discussions included the following:

Accounts of the Peaslake Village Community Fund were presented following the credit of a recent donation. In future accounts will be formally presented on a 6 monthly basis in line with reporting by the trustees on 31st March and 31st October each year.

Organisation of the Peaslake Village Fayre was reported as 'coming along nicely', though there is a requirement for someone to help coordinate the car parking. If you are able to help then please contact Christine Harrison (01306 730640, or fayre@peaslake.org).

A relatively recent newcomer to the village reported concern regarding the speed of traffic entering the village along Pursers Lane. Suggestions included moving the 30mph signs to include the newly built Pursers Lee housing, and the installation of a solar powered flashing speed indicator sign (a recent implementation in Wonersh has transformed the feel of the village there). Both suggestions will be put to the Parish Council. Meanwhile we will ask the Community Speed Watch coordinator to pursue permission for monitoring traffic on Pursers Lane. The Community Speed Watch would be far more effective with a more frequent presence; if you are able to help then do please put your name forward for training (csw@peaslake.org).

There is still no eta for the replacement of the two Peaslake boundary signs stolen in September 2007, though Surrey Hills have agreed to replace them with wooden ones.

Overgrown hedgerows were again discussed though the council are unable to trim those until the Autumn due to conservation concerns.

Surrey County Council have been informed that pot holes in the village had not been filled in as planned prior to the recent surface dressing.
