Flood event drop-in
​
A flood event occurred on 9th May 2023 affecting the North Downs of Surrey including the Caterham and Chaldon valleys.
Surrey County Council’s Flood Team is collating information on the surface water flood locations. A community “drop-in” session has been planned for the 13th June at the Westway Centre, Caterham Hill, CR3 5PG from 15.30 – 19.00. This will provide an opportunity for the community to share information on the flooding. If you have further questions then please email flooding.enquiries@surreycc.gov.uk.
Proposed new council ward boundaries – have your say
​
Residents and local organisations are invited to share their thoughts on proposed new ward boundaries, as part of a review of electoral arrangements in the Tandridge district. Note that Chaldon would be combined with the Westway Ward in Caterham according to the draft proposals with 3 councillors.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) wants to hear what residents and local organisations think about the proposals. Proposed changes include:
-
There would be 15 wards. Currently, there are 20 wards.
-
13 wards would be represented by three councillors.
-
Warlingham East, Chelsham & Farleigh would be represented by two councillors.
-
Woldingham would be represented by a single councillor.
You can view the proposals including an interactive map at www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/tandridge.
Residents have until Monday 7 August 2023 to submit their views, by:
-
Visiting LGBCE’s website.
-
E-mailing: reviews@lgbce.org.uk.
-
Writing to: Review Officer (Tandridge), LGBCE, PO Box 133, Blyth, NE24 9FE.
More information on the consultation can be found on the LGBCE’s website.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is an independent body accountable to Parliament. It recommends fair electoral and boundary arrangements for local authorities in England. It is reviewing Tandridge to make sure councillors will represent about the same number of electors and that ward arrangements will help the council work effectively.
