Tandridge District Council is considering a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for Caterham Valley to stop vehicles from parking on pavements. 

The legal order can be used to manage anti-social behaviour in public areas.  It would prevent all vehicles from mounting and parking on pavements along parts of Croydon Road and Godstone Road, and all of Station Avenue and the service road leading to Waitrose and Lidl car parks.

The Council is inviting residents to share their views about pavement safety in Caterham Valley in an online survey, at www.tandridge.gov.uk/consult by 31st December.

720 New School Places Created In Surrey

720 new school places are set to be created by the council as part of the biggest investment program in surreys history.

The council’s Cabinet will consider proposals to boost capacity at six schools including schools in the reigate area.

Surrey needs to find 16,000 extra school places by 2018 because of a rise in demand from an increasing birth rate. Of those, the council is aiming to create up to 3,000 by next September.
