A concerned resident has his say

 

 

HSBC bank in the High Street which is currently open only 3 days per week will soon be closing, leaving an empty store in the village.

 

 Don’t get bored this Summer!

Rachel Bingham, former Wokingite and star of the West End will be running West End On Demand’s Summer School this August 20th-24th at the Brookwood Memorial Halls, Woking, Surrey. If you’re aged 14-21 then this is defintely worth a look!

 

Polls

Based on the results of the barriers poll, we have drafted a letter to try to get a definitive answer on what Surrey Highways are going to do with the barriers; the outcome of this was that there will be a Surrey wide look at highways in the near future. I would like to point out that this wasn’t due to the KRA but would have happened without intervention!

My excitement at 89% of voters wanting Christmas decorations in a previous poll has seen newcomer Erica stepping forward and getting involved by heading up the decorations project! With a bit of luck we will have something this year to help celebrate the season of goodwill and festive cheer. If you want to help out with a project, why not take a look at the Help Out page?

The last poll picked up on Cllr Melanie Whitehand’s 2007 desire for a war memorial in the village and has seen 27 voters which is down on the last polls. 81% are in favour of a memorial to the Fallen and 19% against. These results can now be fed back to Melanie to decide on the next step.

The new poll is regarding illegal signage such as those tied to traffic lights – what do you think about them in your village?

eNews & Bulletin

We have a new eNewsletter to better help us stay in touch with Members; the first one went out a week or so ago. Its designed, in part, to address one of our shortcomings in communication with Members who have rightly felt in the past that we haven’t been as chatty as we could have been. While being created specifically for Members of the KRA, it is currently open to all and we would appreciate any feedback you can give.

It will deliver important information about the village in a timely manner direct to your inbox so if you’d like to recieve this service, please sign up!
