Introduction

Hi, I am Clive Woodbridge, and I have recently been elected as Borough Councillor for Ewell ward in Epsom & Ewell, representing the Residents Association.

First of all, many thanks to all residents who voted for me on May 3rd. I will do my best to represent your wishes and keep Ewell the pleasant place that it is to live and work in.

I will be using this 'blog' to tell people what I have been doing, and to communicate developments in Ewell, as well as the Borough generally, seeking comment where appropriate.

The first significant development to affect the ward since my election has been confirmation that Wilsons is seeking permission to develop an area of land behind Dagenham Motors as a site for a van and car storage area. This will involve building an access road to the site from Weston Road, at the back of Sainsburys.

Plans are now available at Bourne Hall and the Town Hall, and I would urge residents to look at these plans, read the planning application and make their views known in writing to the planning officer.

I will be liaising with another Ewell ward Councillor, Pamela Bradley, and Town ward Councillor, Neil Dallen, to ensure that residents views on this proposal are put fully to officers and to the planning committee.

As this application proceeds, I will keep residents informed. Please contact me if you have any questions about this. My email is: cwoodbridge@epsom-ewell.gov.uk
