At a meeting on 26 May ,The Chairman and Members of the Parish Council thanked Councillor Martin and his wife Veronica for their work within the village and wished them well in their new home.

Surrey County Council , Highways have drawn up a plan for the traffic calming in Hale House Lane. Cllr Pierson has a copy of the plan (01428 717352).

In brief the proposal is as follows:-

• 30mph limit to be extended to The Meadows
• A “Village Gateway” sign at The Meadows
• Red anti- skid marking on HHL at the Meadows, Hale House Close junction and at the footpath from Parkhurst Fields
• A 1m wide white line drawn on the lhs of the road from Crossways to The Meadows, to give pedestrians some measure of safety.

The Village Litter Pick took place on Saturday 30 May. Approximately 20 people joined in and 16 bags of rubbish were collected. Cllr Pierson expressed her thanks to all who took part and to Churt WI for providing cakes for the volunteers.

There has been a comment that airplanes are flying over the village at night in greater numbers than normal.
