Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM)<\/strong> for Woodcote (Epsom) Resident\u2019s Society (WERS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairs notice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the WERS Committee, I would like to invite Woodcote residents to attend our Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 22nd February 2023 at 7.30 pm to be held in the Lower Lounge at Epsom Methodist Church. The committee is keen to keep Epsom and Ewell an independent Borough in these times of political disarray. At least at the local level we know our own elected representatives will be guided by residents\u2019 needs and not be distracted by national party politics. Indeed, the independent movement within local politics is growing because of their grass root policies. An example of such a policy is the SCHOOL STREETS movement led by the Mums for Lungs campaign. We have invited one of their leading campaigners to speak at our AGM. Let\u2019s move towards protecting the lungs of children aged under 11 years of age from pollution on their own school streets. The evidence is clear, especially in the post Covid-19 era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost-of-living crisis and the effects of raging inflation highlight another difference between national politics and an independent borough. Spend or save? The latter may not be popular, our councillors, however, will continue to be prudent with that diminishing proportion of council tax the government allows them to control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Protect Duty is a grassroots phenomenon. Figen Murray\u2019s campaign has inspired many. Single-handed, she will transform this proposed duty into Martyn\u2019s Law in memory of her son who died in the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017. This legislation will enhance the safety of all in publicly accessible locations. We all will have a part to play in this duty not least our local authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help keep local politics independent please attend our AGM. You will be most welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fred Mowbray <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draft Local Plan \u2013 update:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council will be progressing with its new Local Plan which sets the vision and framework for the development of the borough for the next 15 or so years.
It is a master plan describing what Epsom & Ewell could and should look like in 2040. It is one of the next steps following the borough\u2019s consultation and publication of \u2018Future 40\u2019, a vision for the future based on residents\u2019 input. The public consultation on the draft local plan starts on 1st February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever considered becoming a Borough Councillor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few wards across the Epsom & Ewell borough which may have vacancies for councillor candidates. If you are interested to learn more then please get in touch with one of the committee members.
Councillors are elected to the Borough Council to represent their local community, so they must either live or work in the Borough. Becoming a Councillor is both a rewarding and privileged form of public service. You will be able to make a difference in the quality of other people\u2019s daily lives and prospects.
If you are in any doubt about whether you are eligible to stand as a councillor, you should contact the borough council for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
