Double yellow lines in place along Burpham Lane

Line painting crews have been busy painting yellow lines along half of Burpham Lane this week, on both sides of the road (London Road end to just after The Paddocks). This brings into effect parking restrictions on this stretch of the road, ahead of the opening of the new Aldi store, likely to be 5th November. I’ll continue to monitor the implications of these new restrictions, both in terms of parking occurring elsewhere and speeding along Burpham Lane.

Guildford MP Anne Milton has established a new Flood Forum, specifically to deal with flood matters concerning Burpham. The inaugural meeting will take place on Friday 13th February, which I will attend as Ward Member for Burpham, along with officers from the Environment Agency, representatives of local community groups and others. This new Forum will become an important vehicle for driving Burpham flood matters to the top of the agenda.

Improvements have been successfully carried out at the tennis courts at Sutherland Memorial Park. The resurfacing works will allow sports fans to further enjoy this already popular facility within Sutherland Memorial Park (Winner of a coveted Green Flag award). These improvements, together with the installation of the nature boardwalks (see story below) are a major enhancement to the leisure facilities on offer in Burpham this summer.

Nature Boardwalk Completed

The new boardwalk through the wetlands in Burpham has been completed. The wooden walkway, including imaginatively designed seating areas reflecting local nature, was designed by Greenspace Designs Ltd. The enhancements have been funded through planning obligations and overseen by Guildford Borough Council.

As summer eventually arrives this development allows people to more fully enjoy this local nature reserve.
