Dear
Resident |
October 2008 #1 |

It would be great if
you could print a copy of this newsletter and
ask your neighbours if they have heard of SCA
and would like a copy.

You are one of about
350 local residents to which SCA sends
newsletters. About 500 more have attended
public meetings we have arranged, but not
supplied a valid email address. There are
about 8,000 residents in Stoughton so we know
this newsletter reaches only a small proportion.
Many do not use a computer.
We do not share our
email list with anyone, and we only use our list
to pass on news of activities and events in the
area.
Remember, the clocks go back by one hour next
weekend, at 1am on Sunday 26th October 2008.
Regards,
Ian Godfrey
SCA Secretary |

Friends of
Stoughton |
|
If you know any
elderly person who perhaps has no family nearby
and you feel would benefit from having more
contact outside of their homes then please let
us know. Secondly, if you would like to help,
one Sunday afternoon a month, by driving elderly
people to a volunteer’s home for tea, cakes and
chat, and thus help combat the loneliness they
can so often feel.
As you know SCA
is a Charity with the main objective to make
Stoughton a better place in which to live,
therefore we wish to establish ‘Friends of
Stoughton’. This simple idea, successful
elsewhere, is about arranging a monthly
afternoon tea in the home of another Stoughton
resident. Unfortunately doctors, the police and
Social Services are unable to tell us who we
should be contacting because of the Data
Protection Act. With your help, perhaps we can
solve this problem.
Please, either
email Maureen on
mdhbell@talk21.com or telephone me on
01483 570275, and
let her know at the earliest if you know anyone
this proposal will benefit and also if you
yourself are willing to help as a driver or to
host a tea party. |

Planning Applications
|
 |
|
Thank
you for submitting your objections.
This has
resulted in all recent applications being refused by
planning officers. We will
keep you informed if applicants
decide to appeal.
The
number of applications has gone down
drastically. This may be
because of the summer holidays, the
credit crunch or our message is
getting across.

increase in the number of youths
hanging around causing problems.

Long term solution
for
Grange Road?
SCA
has received a number of emails
supporting the one-way system, as
well as some opposed to the scheme.
This problem has been caused by poor
planning in the past and will be
impossible to fix without upsetting
someone.
Surrey County Council Local
Committee for Guildford is amongst
other things responsible for
budgeting of Guildford's traffic
schemes, and it has approved using
£5,000 of Cllr Pauline
Searle's allocation "to conduct
investigations into the feasibility
of progressing a range of highways
measures in Grange Road". A
survey cannot start until the gas
works is complete.
The
association and our councillors are
working with Surrey County Council
traffic department in looking at the
impact on various schemes.
All parties are committed to full
public consultation.

SCA Web-Site
Improvements
The
Local Committee has also approved a
grant of £1,000
from Cllr Pauline Searle's
allocation to fund
improvements to the web-site,
annual data protection fees, and
keep it going for at least the next
3 years.
Work on this will start in December.
If you have any opinions about the
web-site or ideas for new features,
please let us know. |
