RANGERS MEAN STREETS SHOULD STAY SMARTER

The streets of Claygate are almost free of weeds and looking much smarter than they were a few months ago. The Environment, Highways and Transport Committee had raised the unkempt appearance of the village’s roads with Surrey County Council through the latter half of last year and received the explanation that Claygate had “fallen out” of Surrey’s weed-spraying roster early in the season, and was therefore attended to later than planned.

With this issue successfully resolved, it is hoped future problems will be avoided by Surrey’s formation of a group called “Roadside Rangers” who, on the recommendation of a Surrey County Councillor, will undertake roadside restoration. Residents who are aware of any stretch of road needing attention can contact the Parish Clerk, or County Councillor Mark Sugden at Mark.Sugden@surreycc.gov.uk
