Burpham’s Conservative Campaigner
Christian served as Ward Councillor for Burpham on Guildford Borough Council between May 2011 and May 2019. "Burpham continues to face many challenges in the coming years and I look forward to continuing to assist residents where possible."
Guildford Borough Council, in conjunction with Surrey County Council, is currently consulting on parking changes in Burpham.
To review the latest proposals and see times of the public consultation events taking place this Saturday (17th) and Thursday next week (22nd) please visit this section of Guildford’s website.
Kingpost Parade and areas in and around Burpham Lane are the subject of the current proposals.
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.
The Burpham Neighbourhood Plan, prepared by the Burpham Neighbourhood Forum over the past 3 years, has passed examination.
The examiner, Mr Richard High MRTPI, issued his report this week, recommending some modifications to the plan and that it proceeds to a local referendum of Burpham voters. The report, can be found here on the Burpham pages of Guildford’s website, along with other relevant information.
This is a tremendous achievement by the Forum members on behalf of the people of Burpham. The plan sets out various land use policies such as the designation of Local Green Space, protection for Burpham’s shopping parades and more stringent parking provision requirements for new development.
The Burpham Neighbourhood Plan is the first Neighbourhood Plan in Guildford to reach this advanced stage. When fully adopted the Plan will become part of the Development Plan for Burpham.
