I’m really happy to announce that the Farncombe Hill footway improvement scheme has started and will be finished in time for Christmas.
This is the only Surrey County Council road work being carried out during 2017-18 in Godalming North. Forecast expenditure on our area for 2017-18 was £119,000 but due to Conservative cuts the budget was set at only £10,000! I have been able to negotiate a further £3,775 to deliver these essential repairs for our community. I am so sad that, due to these harsh cuts, the Council has not prioritised the other schemes:
– Pram ramps in various locations
– Charterhouse Road bridge sign upgrades
– Charterhouse Road / Twycross Road roundabout enhancement
– Wharf Street ramps
– Warramill Road drainage repairs
Boarden Bridge in Borough Road was also not prioritised by Surrey, but I have worked extensively with the Countryside Team, and especially our Godalming Town Clerk, to facilitate a complete rebuild thanks to the very generous gift from the Caudle Memorial Fund.
