This R.A. covers Woodcote Ward which incorporates Ebbisham, Langley Vale, most of Abele Green and in the centre of which lies the RAC Country Club and to the South of which is the Race Course on Epsom Downs.




Lavandou Stables

The Planning Application for the erection of 4 houses with 10 car parking spaces in the Lavandou Yard was refused on the grounds of: Loss of stabling, Impact on Conservation Area, Overbearing Impact, and Lack of Section 106 money.

There was substantial local support for the campaign to oppose this application, spearheaded by Woodcote's RA Borough Councillor Teresa Cass.




Organisation of the Society

A managing committee is elected each year at the Society's AGM. Officers' positions are filled by committee members, who also select candidates to stand for election as Borough and County Councillors. The committee monitors and makes representations on local issues and liaises with council officers and our Borough and County Councillors and others in the interests of the residents of the Woodcote Ward.

If you would like to help by serving on the committee please contact the Chairman (see below). An extensive network of "Road Representatives" collect subscriptions and distribute Newsletters and local informational flyers etc. Road Reps also act as a conduit to feed neighbours' views and suggestions back to the committee. There are some areas of the Ward still not covered by Road Reps; if you would like to help in this important role, please contact the Chairman or Secretary (see below).

Special Funds
All County Councillors have an allocation of money to spend each year, for the general benefit of the community. Chris has used his for a variety of items, e.g.
  • for additional lighting in a footpath (Madans Walk) near Rosebery Park
  • more trees in Whitehorse Drive
  • smoke alarms for the elderly
  • new pavements outside St Christopher’s school and elsewhere in Downs Road
  • support for the Youth Club called YELL, and
  • safety measures for Wilmerhatch Lane.
If anyone living in the Division has any ideas for other projects do contact him.
