The Friends of Horsley and Effingham Junction Stations Celebrate 5 Years

Some of you might not know that East Horsley has two stations, Horsley and Effingham Junction. East Horsley Parish Councils Railways Task Group consists of two volunteer groups, The Friends of Horsley and Effingham Junction Stations.  They recently met at Horsley Station for a glass of bubbles and cake, to celebrate the fifth year of their formation.  We'd like to thank all the volunteers on behalf of the residents of East Horsley for their hard work in looking after our stations appearance and ensuring that regular users and visitors to the area are always given the best welcome possible.

Annual Parish Meeting Held in The Great Hall of Horsley Towers

The Annual Parish Council Meeting held in The Great Hall of Horsley Towers last night, proved to be a great success. The hall was filled to capacity with only standing room left for late comers. East Horsley Parish Council would like to thank those who took the time and trouble to attend the meeting, where they were given the opportunity to hear directly from councillors on what they have been doing over the last year and their plans for the following year/s ahead. Many local issues were raised in the Q&A, which the councillors were able to answer directly. In the second half of the meeting, following refreshments, attendees were given the opportunity to listen to Daniel Skyes, Cyber Protection Officer for Surrey and Sussex Police talk about the techniques used by scammers to part you from your hard-earned cash and, more importantly, how to avoid becoming yet another victim. 

If the meeting has whetted your appetite and you would like to find out more about the Parish Council or if you would like to explore the possibility of becoming a councillor, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Thatcher's Hotel Refurbishment

Thatcher’s Hotel is undergoing refurbishment and is set to reopen to the public soon. Longer term plans include redevelopment in the site following planning approval for ten flats in 2022.

New Section of Footpath Completed

Another short section of the new path along the lower end of Forest Road from Glendene to Ockham Road South has now been completed.  This section of Forest Road is the only major road in the village without a safe passage for pedestrians and East Horsley Parish Council has been assisting local residents to construct a new path.  This month should see another short section completed by contractors extending the path to the junction with Woodland Drive. This will just leave a final section down to Ockham Road South to complete.
