PARKING PROPOSALS: There will be NO positives for Esher.
STOP PRESS!!!! Number of Petition Signatures now at 21,278 - success! Now listen to us, the residents for whom you work, SCC.

If Tory-led Surrey County Council has its way, it will soon cost 41p to buy a first class stamp at Esher Post Office, and 50p to park outside to do so. This is madness. SCC protests that its proposed on-street parking charges will help shops and businesses, by ‘improving turnover of the available parking space’, but we are unconvinced: surely a more effective way of increasing throughput would be to cut the current two hour free parking period? And, of course, in terms of infrastructure and capital costs, alterations to existing signage would be far cheaper and less disruptive than installing and maintaining ticket machines.

MOORE PLACE: Moore or less still with us!
It is now a year since planning permission was granted (24th June 2009) for a 50 bedroom hotel, bar/restaurant and spa following demolition of Moore Place. However Moore Place still stands albeit boarded up and empty, now a sorry and shabby reminder of its former glories. As widely predicted, the proposed hoteliers are out of the loop and a large hoarding displayed on the forecourt is still asking for a hotel operator to apply. So what will happen to this prominent Esher gateway site? read more...
