Listed below are some of the successes in 2024:-

The Village

• Successfully persuaded the Boundary Commission not to drop reference to the settlement name of Oxshott in its review of Surrey CC ward boundaries

Planning

• The most recent draft of Elmbridge Borough Council’s Design Code recognises Oxshott as a separate settlement
• FEDORA’s views on densities (expressed by reference to floor area rather than the dwellings per hectare) have been taken on board by Elmbridge Borough Council

Roads

• 20 mph speed restriction introduced on A244 through the village
• 40 mph speed restrictions on Fairoak Lane
• The introduction of experimental night-time ban on HGVs on A244
• Parking revised in the centre of the village
• New signage to make Sandy Lane safer
• Improved pedestrian access along the “straight” part of Sandy Lane, but still another 8 sections identified

Green Oxshott

• Trees and hedge along the A244 outside Broom Hall financed and organised by Surrey CC
• CIL for Esher Public Bridleway 49 and Esher Public Footpath 51 – funding found from Elmbridge Borough Council and Surrey County Council as well as FEDORA. The work on the Bridleway and Path has just been completed.
