TIME TO ACT – WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW!
Many of you have asked how you can help the campaign, so we have put some suggestions together on this page for you. Thank you again to everyone who has supported it so far.
Write to or email Surrey County Council. We suggest:-
The Council Leader David Hodge: david.hodge@surreycc.gov.uk and;
Your local Councillor. Click here for details.
Write to or email Surrey Wildlife Trust. info@surreywt.org.uk – to Chief Executive Nigel Davenport
Write to or email your Guildford Borough Councillor. Click here for details.
Write to or email to your MP. They are not part of this process but will take note of your opinions. Click here for details.
We have just heard from a lady who tried to email the Surrey County Council Newlands Corner project team on 12th May that SCC say they are no longer accepting emails to this address regarding the project! May we ask you all, however, to continue to write to SCC, they have to accept letters still! Follow the link above to find your local councillor and also write to Surrey County Council, County Hall, Penrhyn Road, Kingston upon Thames. KT1 2DN
Write to or email your Parish Council. Click here for details.
Look at the play structure plans here. Click here for details.
Follow our web site. Click on ‘Click here to Follow’ (bottom right of the home page) so that you automatically receive an email copy of our latest posts.
Below is some wording that you might like to add into your letters/emails. Please feel free to amend the wording and add in your own thoughts and comments.
Surrey County Council and Surrey Wildlife Trust propose developments at Newlands Corner including parking charges, trails, a coach park and large cafe/shop/visitor centre.
I/We write to record a formal objection to the proposals and ask the Council not to go ahead.
I/We believe Newlands Corner should remain an unspoiled open greenspace, without parking charges. It is part of our heritage and culture and not a marketable commodity.
(You may want to add your own experience of Newlands Corner and thoughts on the current proposals for parking charges, 10 adventure play sites and new building.)
If you support these changes to our countryside, please write and tell me why.
Yours sincerely
