TRIBUNE COMMENT

WALTON HEATH GOLF CLUB PLANS

I

think that this is the most important edition of the Tadworth & Walton Tribune that I have published. The reason is that on page 4 the Tadworth & Walton Residents’ Association have contributed an article entitled ‘Now is the time to decide’.

The issue is whether or not Walton Heath Golf Club should be granted planning permission to build a new clubhouse on the other side of the Dorking Road while redeveloping the existing clubhouse to create 14 dwellings.

It is fair to say that opinion is divided and whichever side of the fence you stand, or even Dorking Road, this is your opportunity to make your opinion heard. Full details of the two Applications can be found at www.reigatebanstead.gov.uk, click “Planning Application

Most importantly, you only have until 27th November to express your view and its no good moaning after the planner’s decide, whether you’re for or against the development.

I have published the proposed plans on page 7 for both developments but you really need to visit the planning website to get all the facts. Here you will find a large number of opinions being expressed and I urge you to read them so that you can make your own mind up.

IT’S TIME TO DECIDE

D

ecide what, exactly? Well, Walton Heath Golf Club has submitted proposals both to build a new Clubhouse on the Heath, and to demolish the current one to be replaced by residential housing.

This “commercial decision” (quote) by the Club raises a number of important issues. The question at the heart of the matter is whether this intrusion into the Green Belt – which would change the nature and openness of part of the Heath forever – is warranted when there is in existence already, a clubhouse with an historic background which could be refurbished to meet the standards required.

There are two sides to this argument which are explored here.

Your view – one way or the other – can help shape the ultimate planning decision.

Make your own mind up and submit your opinion: The Golf Club’s Case Using some extracts from their Planning Application their main reasons are: "The proposals will make the club sustainable in the longer term faced with a declining market and increased competition and will also bring about a number of benefits including: - Creation of a new club house which is similar in size to the existing but which adjoins the existing courses and provides high quality and more flexible modern clubhouse facilities; l Elimination of the safety hazards involved in golfers having to cross Deans Lane and Dorking Road from the existing clubhouse and car park to access the golf courses and practice ground; l Enabling the Club to maintain and enhance its position in the national and

international golf rankings; l Allowing the Club to maintain and enhance its active role in the local community by providing a modern Artisan Clubhouse; l Provision of a number of community benefits notably making the existing first hole of the Old Course available for greater use by the general community with heather regeneration planted; l Providing better access for walkers, riders and cyclists to an extended number of footpaths and bridleways on the heath that the golf club will continue to maintain at its own expense."

Some Residents’ Concerns: Based on feedback from TWRA Members and our own concerns we would highlight just two key issues: l Green Belt. The Club is suggesting that they can have an exception to building on the Green Belt. In our opinion this is incorrect. We believe that the openness of the Green Belt would be significantly affected by the scale and mass of this new (modern designed) building with its visual appearance, permanence and increased activity. The new building, along with extensive car parking (171 vehicles), new access road and Artisans Club House will be outside of the curtilage of CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

JUBILEE WOODLAND

O

n Sunday, 15th September, the sun shone and we held a very successful open day in Jubilee Woodland. The attendance surpassed our expectations and included many enthusiastic and very active youngsters.

The Mayor and Mayoress officially unveiled a seat in memory of Janet Hill, a very popular Council employee who had done much for our community in Tadworth and Walton, and who had been instrumental, together with ex Councillor Vic Broad, in creating the Woodland. The seat had been provided by Janet’s friends and colleagues at the Town Hall.

The Mayor also officially opened the revitalised play area which has benefited from new play equipment financed by a government Pocket Park award and is proving to be very popular with the younger members of our community.

Refreshments included Prosecco and a beautifully decorated cake provided by the Chalet Bakery. Councillor Rachel Turner was the M.C. In all, it was a very enjoyable event Turning to the future, we have recently been given an additional grant so will be putting up more bird and bat boxes and introducing a ‘Mini Library’, all constructed by the ‘Men in Sheds’ based in Merstham. We will also improve the surface of the footpaths and increase the biodiversity of the area, especially to the rear where the emphasis is on nature conservation. Further additions will be ‘fairy doors’ and more painted stones which will be provided by our friends at the Council.

There will also be a Forest School for preschool children on the rear part of the

8 NOVEMBER 2019

site for part of the week but this will not preclude other pre school groups.

If you have any ideas on further attractions/improvements please let us know. We would also like more volunteers to help manage the area so please contact us if you can spare a couple of hours per month.

A date for your diary, the annual Carol Singing event in Jubilee Woodland will take place on Saturday 14th December.

Everyone is welcome.

We would like to hear from you if you have any ideas for new facilities – more wooden mushrooms and ‘fairy doors’ have been suggested. We are also looking for volunteers as the original workers are not getting any younger, so please let us know if you can spare a couple of hours a month. It is always amazing to see how the park changes from week to week.

Wigwams of dead branches appear and then mysteriously move to another tree, paths lined with branches emerge and then vanish, and colourful painted stones multiply and are ingeniously hidden.

Apart from our efforts to increase wild life, the children make it a living space.

s a child, Gloria was often confined to bed and some of her earliest memories are of wondering when she would be able to join the other children playing outside.

‘I was a ‘sickly child’, or that was what they called it back then,’ she explains.

But sometimes out of adversity comes inspiration as her situation set her on the road to fulfilling her talent for art.

‘To alleviate the boredom on lying in bed for hours on end, I was given pencils and paper and a pack of cards. Thankfully both were easy to do in bed, and whilst I cannot claim to do card tricks like Dynamo, I took to drawing immediately and began to create drawings of beautiful women in fantastic evening dresses,’ she continues.

Leaving school with ‘A’ levels in art and needlework Gloria was hoping to go to art college and, maybe, follow a career in fashion but, unfortunately, it wasn’t to be.

‘I started temping during the summer holidays and suddenly I had my own money and with it a freedom I had never experienced before. Perhaps I should have set my small slice of the ‘Dulce Vita’ to one side but the thought

10 NOVEMBER 2019

of being a penniless student for the next three years suddenly didn’t appeal that much. Oh, what might have been!’ she adds.

Office work and a spell in personnel followed and later, after having three children, she cross-trained and went into education.

‘It was as a teaching assistant that my love for all things artistic resurfaced as I was able to use my skills in art and run after-school clubs,’ she reveals.

Encouraged by this re-awakening, Gloria started watercolour painting lessons with Lorna Murray, a well-known artist and teacher.

‘Lorna became my mentor and suggested I joined Tadworth Art Group. Of course, I was delighted when this rather prestigious group accepted me but there was a surprise almost as soon as I had joined. Their secretary had just resigned and, when they discovered my background in admin and personnel, they asked if I would take on the job. Suddenly, I was mum to 35 people I hardly knew. Dishing out memos, organising their diary, conducting meetings and being the sounding board to all their hopes and worries. A baptism of fire, you might say, but I loved the involvement and I

have now made lifelong friends,’ she enthuses.

But even as an established and successful artist, Gloria still maintains that we never stop learning.

‘I still attend courses with many tutors always looking for new ideas and stimulation. I like exploring shade and form with a special leaning towards wildlife studies, striving to capture the texture of skin and fur but, as you would expect, I have never lost my love of drawing. And, of course, being a proud mum to 35,’ she concludes.

WALTON VILLAGE FORUM

OPEN MEETING ABOUT GOLF CLUB

A

s I type this month’s article the rain is pouring down outside and it finally seems that the extended summer weather has passed.

This means that we should all begin to see Mere Pond getting back to normal levels after the recent sustained dry spell!

The summer itself has been relatively quiet but for two notable events that took place during September.

As a number of you are aware, Tuesday 3rd September 2019 saw the Walton Village Forum Charity Golf Day hosted at Walton Heath Golf Club. As previously mentioned in my July article, the Golf Club awarded this day to the Village Forum in aid of raising funds for the replacement of the Sports Pavilion at Howard Close.

The event itself was a fantastic success and, besides having perfect weather, we had 24 teams enter with some great auction and raffle prizes on offer, not to mention “Longest Drive” and “Nearest the Pin” competitions too.

In total we managed to raise £13,891, which far exceeded our expectations.

On behalf of the Forum, I’d like to extend a huge thank you to every single person that participated; with special thanks to Andrew and Sara Brown and Charles and Edda Harvey for helping us organise the day. I’d also like to extend a massive thank you to the Walton Heath Golf Club for awarding us the day and to all the staff that made us all welcome and made a significant contribution to the day’s success. The second notable event took place at the Riddell Hall on Tuesday 9th September

16 NOVEMBER 2019

2019 where the Village Forum hosted an open meeting and invited the Walton Heath Golf Club to present its proposed plans to move its’ clubhouse from the present location in Deans Lane across the Dorking Road to its’ Beechams field location. The Village Forum is not normally involved in planning matters but felt its’ primary role in this instance was to ensure Walton-on-the-Hill residents were fully informed about the proposals and to create an opportunity for them to ask whatever questions they had.

The invitation to attend was sent to all Forum Members, the TWRA Committee and our local Councillors. .

Planning related matters often are, and will no doubt, always be, emotive. Our council representatives are elected to protect all our interests within the confines of the law, associated planning policy and the Development Management Plan and we should all continue to avail ourselves of the opportunity we have to engage in the process constructively. The format of the evening was simple; the Golf Club delivered a presentation and the floor was opened to questions. The meeting started at 7:30pm and was closed just before 9pm. All in all, only 45 people attended, which was somewhat disappointing. However, the Forum Committee is delighted that the feedback about the usefulness of the meeting from attendees was very positive.

I’m sure many of you have seen the M25 Noise Pollution e-Petition that George Curry has organised and has

T R I B U N E To advertise call 01737 222307 or visit www.mylocalpages.co.uk

WALTON VILLAGE FORUM circulated via the Village Forum, Road Associations and other social media platforms. At time of writing the ePetition had attracted 571 signatures.

This means that, because the e-Petition has surpassed the 400 signatories required, it will be presented and debated at a meeting of the full Council.

The petition closes on the 9th October and we will keep everyone updated with important dates and next steps with respect to this issue. The Forum would like to thank George on behalf of everyone in the village and surrounding area for organising and co-ordinating this.

We would also like to thank Sam Hinton (nee Gandey) who participated in the Ride100 on the 4th August 2019 to raise funds for the replacement Sports Pavilion @ Howard Close, an absolutely huge effort that raised just over ÂŁ1100.

Thanks to everyone one who supported Sam and donated towards this worthy local cause.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in joining the Forum Committee please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to get in touch with any of the committee members or email us on the email address below.

Our next Forum meeting will be held on Tuesday 12th November at 8pm at the Breech Lane Community Centre, all are welcome so please feel free to come along and find out how all our exciting initiatives are progressing.

STAMP OUT DRUGS

O

ver the last couple months, local councillors have been receiving a very concerning number of complaints from residents about youths taking drugs in public places. The complaints are not limited to one area; there have been reports from Tadworth, Walton on the Hill and Lower Kingswood.

At Lower Kingswood, an alleged drug dealer has been witnessed openly going about his business at the local recreation ground in front of children as young a seven who are training with their local football team. Elsewhere, residents have reported the smell of, what they believe to be, cannabis wafting through their windows during the summer months.

In many cases, the local community has acted swiftly to raise awareness especially with parents. Local schools have included information in their weekly newsletter, churches have contacted parishioners, and Scout and Guide groups have also kept parents updated. The local youth group ROOTs which has members from the wider Lower Kingswood and Tadworth area has enlisted the help of a specialist youth worker to talk to its members.

For positive information about how residents can help to deal with this problem, ward councillors have been seeking advice from Reigate and Banstead Borough Council's Community Safety Officer, the Borough's Joint Enforcement Team (JET) and Surrey Police.

If residents see a crime such as drug dealing talking place, the most effective action is to call 999 immediately. Calls or emails to anyone else will simply waste valuable time and allow the criminals to escape. If it is safe to do so, taking a note of vehicle registration numbers will assist the Police. However, it is important to take personal safety seriously; never confront anyone.

If residents have previously noted

18 NOVEMBER 2019

registration numbers of suspicious vehicles or are concerned about an ongoing issue such the misuse of drugs, the best course of action is to report it to the Police using the 101 contact number. The more people that report the same behaviour, the greater the priority the Police will give to the matter.

If the Police do not appear to be taking reports seriously, residents can contact the Police and Crime Commissioner David Munro who acts as an interface between the public and the Police. Mr Munro can be contacted on 01483 630200 or surreypcc@surrey.pnn.police.uk If the issue is anti-social behaviour, residents can report it directly to the Borough's Joint Enforcement Team via the council's website or by calling 01737 276300. However the JET does not operate on a 24 hour basis.

Alternatively, in cases where there is direct evidence or intelligence of criminal activity for example vehicle registration numbers, the names of youths involved, or video evidence, residents can report it anonymously using Crimestoppers: By phone on 0800 555 111 or online www.crimestoppers-uk.org For help and information about local issues your local Reigate & Banstead Borough councillor contacts are: Cllr.

SINGLE USE PLASTIC RECYCLING TerraCycle is a single use plastic recycling scheme set up by Catherine Banks to remove certain types of plastic from landfill while also raising money for The Alzheimer Society.

C

atherine Banks has set up Tadworth Terracycle, a single use plastic recycling scheme which removes certain types of plastic from landfill, that cannot be recycled with Reigate and Banstead refuse collections.

The plastic is shredded in the UK and sold for re purposing into long term plastic items, so its not only saved from landfill but also kept in the UK for which points are received and redeemed to donate money to charities. The main charity beneficiaries are currently The Alzheimer Society and the RSPCA. Most importantly, the whole organisation is run on a voluntary basis.

Catherine Banks said: "TerraCycle offers a range of free programmes that are funded by conscientious companies...to help you collect and recycle your hard-to-recycle waste. There is also a Facebook page called ‘Tadworth & Local Area Recycling Page’ so please like and follow this.”

She continued, “All this work is done on a voluntary basis, I receive no monetary gain

myself, however, I do receive points, which can be turned into a donation for my nominated charities. I also provide feedback on the amount we have kept out of landfill and the amount raised so far.”

Facebook provides much of the information required to allow anyone to recycle acceptable waste. Albums provide the schemes, how to sort, package, where and when a drop off can be made, they also provide photos of acceptable and unacceptable waste for each scheme to guide you.

There are very specific rules to this recycling, so please refer to these albums and if in query, please post an enquiry or send Catherine a private message.

If you do not have Facebook, please email her at TadworthTerracycle@gmail.com and Catherine can give you access to her google drive where all the necessary information can be found. Alternatively, visit www.terracycle.com NOVEMBER 2019 19

However, relegation was possible if the last

game did not go well. In the event Tadworth had a spectacular win against Headley Old Freemen’s.

Batting first they scored 306, with two centuries from Stewart Strachan (135) and Giles Baker (110 NO). They then bowled out Headley for 180 and gained the maximum 30 points.

Availability has been the problem this year with Tadworth’s strong players not always being available. There is no doubt that if Tadworth could field their strongest side every week they would probably win the League.

The 2nd XI managed to field a side every week and did well. They finished 5th in Division 4 winning 7 out of 17 games Tadworth Cricket Club’s 2019 Charity Blast raises funds for The Children’s Trust

CRIMESTOPPERS

F

or those of you not familiar with Crimestoppers, it is a service run independently from the police that enables individuals to provide information relating to crime with an absolute guarantee that their anonymity will be preserved. Reports can be made via telephone, internet or post.

Care is taken so that reports made by telephone or internet cannot be traced as they are re-routed before they are taken by Crimestoppers’ volunteer operators. In those instances where a reward is involved, e.g. for reports that lead to an arrest, arrangements are made whereby the reward can be collected from a bank by an individual presenting password style information rather than the normal bank demand for proof of identity. Reports that are eventually passed to the police are checked so that any inadvertently included clues to the reporter’s identity are removed. For example in a report saying “my neighbour at xyz address is dealing drugs”, the words “my neighbour” would be removed. In the 12 months leading up to April of this year in Surrey, reports made to Crimestoppers have resulted in over 80 individuals being arrested and charged and over £60,000 of stolen property being recovered.

Crimestoppers has a “youth service” project, called Fearless, to help children aged between 11 and 16 years. You may be wondering whether children of this age are often in a position to provide information that might be of value to the police. Sadly children can themselves be victims of crimes such as sexual exploitation, but, more recently drug dealers, are making children into accomplices for their crimes. This type of activity is known as “County Lines” crime, as it frequently takes place across county boundaries with criminal gangs in big

cities spreading their tentacles into towns and rural areas. Children are typically exploited in the role of couriers to move illegal substances into and around an area as the criminals are aware that police powers are more constrained when minors are involved. Children may often have been tricked or coerced to undertake illegal activity and then feel themselves trapped.

The Fearless project makes them aware of the opportunity to alert the authorities to the activities of their oppressors whilst their own role in doing this is not revealed. The Fearless project team in Surrey has been visiting schools and setting up their display stand at events and places such as the Tadworth Leisure Centre frequented by children and families. Advice can be given to parents and grandparents of signs to look for in case they are concerned about sudden changes from a child’s normal activities or if they have unexplained additional cash. If you would like to become a volunteer helper or invite the Fearless project team to an event or a school, you can contact them via the Crimestoppers web pages but if you want to use the anonymous reporting service dial 0800 555 111.

hanks to our supporters’ generosity we were able to fund both of the projects included in our 2018 Christmas Appeal.

The first was a health camp in Kenya to treat children against the Jigger Flea parasite - this was run in spring of this year. The second project was the establishment of an Epilepsy Clinic at Berega Hospital in Tanzania. The Clinic is a long term commitment for us and initially involved funding the recruitment and training of a specialist nurse. We were very lucky that one of our local supporters is a retired consultant who specialised in epilepsy. He has played a major part in both the initial funding needed for the project and using his knowledge and contacts to establish an appropriate training programme for the nurse. Our ongoing commitment will be to fund the nurse’s salary, the drugs needed for the long term care of patients, travel associated with outreach to the rural community and any further training needed. We will be having a presentation from one of the doctors associated with this project at our Annual Meeting on Wednesday Nov. 6th in St John’s Hall, opposite Tadworth Station, doors open at 7.15pm. We make no charge for attending this event which includes a dinner but we do ask that you notify us of your intention to attend so we can plan the catering either on 01737 350452 or via mike.fox2@ntlworld.com.

In June 2018 we started to fund one school lunch per week at a school for 150 children of refugees from Myanmar - that was the only meal the school could provide. I am delighted to tell you that as a result of increased donations and bequests we were able to increase the funding to provide two lunches per week during this academic year and rising to three lunches per week during this October. This most recent increase was partly funded by Tadworth Cubs who responded to an appeal made earlier

Children attending the Mothers’ Union Nursery School in Madagascar which is supported by TWOAT.

this year for each of them to try to fill an empty tube of Smarties with coins to fund more lunches. The monies they raised will fund the first 6 weeks of the extra lunches in the school.

We have also been able to continue to help fund daily lunches for 30 children at the Mothers’ Union school we support in Madagascar.

All the activities we support are overseas so the value of the money we are able to send can be impacted by exchange rate changes. We were recently sent examples of this by a project we support that raises money in the UK to fund an orphanage in Peru. The orphanage’s running costs are US$11,000 per month. In April this year it cost £8,577 to send this amount but by August the monthly cost was £9,279! During the 5 months from April to August, it actually cost them an extra £1,500 to send the same value in $ to Peru!

Supporters can join us to sing carols through the streets and hostelries of Walton on Friday Dec 20th starting at 6pm from St Peter’s Church gate. Please look out for details of our other Christmas activities. These will be published on posters and on our web site www.TWOAT.org which also explains how you can donate to us to help the projects we support.

FRIENDS OF ST PETER’S

CLOCK FACE BACK TO FULL GLORY

I

t was with regret that the Wine Tasting, to have been held on 28th September, was cancelled and The Trustees would like to apologise to all those who were disappointed. However, ‘watch this space’ as we we look forward to rescheduling this great social event, hopefully, next Autumn.

Nevertheless, there is much for Friends to celebrate. You may have noticed that the skeleton face of the clock on the tower at St. Peter’s has been looking very shabby for some time. For the last couple of months it has been more noticeable by its absence, although the clock’s chimes could still be heard.

Thanks to Friends, the urgently needed restoration has been made possible.

Thorough cleaning and sandblasting prior to regilding has now been completed and the beautiful clock face replaced, to once again grace the church tower. Do come by and admire it.

The War Memorial, situated in the churchyard at St. Peter’s, is in the process of restoration, at the time of writing. Friends are also responsible for the funding of this much needed project.

The Roll of Honour plaques have been removed for cleaning while the stonework is renovated. Fittingly, it is expected that the work will be completed in time for Remembrance Sunday, on 10th November.

The morning service at St Peter’s, to remember those from our village who gave their lives for their country, has a start time of 10.45am. People will be encouraged to inspect the refurbished memorial before and after the service. Everyone is very welcome to join the congregation, in church, or you may like to pass through the churchyard at another time that day to view the memorial.

24 NOVEMBER 2019

As well as the ongoing payments for maintenance of the churchyard, other recent contributions to the fabric of St. Peter’s include covering the cost of unexpected repairs to the roof and windows. Further plans are afoot to provide window guards.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of all the Friends. We are also extremely grateful, once again, to the Coop, in Walton on the Hill, for the much appreciated grant from their Local Community Fund.

If you would like to ‘do your bit’ to help preserve and maintain our historic and important village church, then Philip Truett would love to hear from you on 01737 813832 or email philip@truett.co.uk

Ugnius Pauliukonis.

Maxwell Quartet.

SATURDAY, 12th OCTOBER 2019, 7.30 pm MAXWELL QUARTET - Play works by Haydn, Shostakovich and Beethoven.

Prizewinners at the Trondheim Chamber Music Competition in 2017, the Maxwell Quartet has established itself as a significant presence in this country and abroad. One of Beethoven’s towering late quartets will be the sublime climax to a programme that includes an engaging late Haydn masterpiece and Shostakovich at his most enigmatic and intense.

SATURDAY 16th NOVEMBER 2019, 7.30 pm UGNIUS PAULIUKONIS, piano – Plays a variety of pieces by Chopin Haydn and Debussy.

The young Lithuanian pianist Ugnius Pauliukonis, Gold Medal winner at the Royal Northern College of Music, and Silver Medallist of the Worshipful Company of Musicians, brings to Banstead a wide-ranging, inspirational programme of Chopin in all his infinite variety, with Haydn and Debussy providing context and contrast.

Supported by Making Music’s Philip & Dorothy Green Award for Young Concert Artists scheme SATURDAY 8th FEBRUARY 2020, 7.30 pm PLEYEL ENSEMBLE – Play works by Schumann, Haydn and Schubert.

The Pleyel Ensemble bring together some of the UK’s leading instrumentalists who share a passion for chamber music past and present. In a piece of highly original programming they

bring us a trio, a quartet and a quintet which offer rewarding contrasts in scale and ensemble. Haydn’s classical poise is followed by Schumann at his most passionate, and Schubert’s gloriously tuneful Trout Quintet, one of the best-loved works in the repertoire, rounds off a sumptuous programme.

SATURDAY 21st MARCH 2020, 7.30 pm TRIO CON BRIO, Copenhagen – Play works by Sørensen, Beethoven and Shostakovich.

Trio Con Brio Copenhagen, who celebrate their 20th Anniversary this year, have played for us twice before with such magnificent musicianship that we had no hesitation in inviting them back for a third visit. They open with a fascinating work written specially for them by Danish composer Bent Sorensen, continue with one of Beethoven’s most exhilarating early trios, and conclude with the tense drama of Shostakovich’s Second Piano Trio, written in 1944 in response to the Holocaust.

VENUE: All events will be at The Community Hall, Park Road, Banstead SM7 3AJ TICKETS: Adults £15 [no concessions], School Pupils: FREE BOX OFFICE: [from 4 weeks prior to event] Banstead Library, The Horseshoe, Banstead or www.bansteadarts.co.uk or at the door as available.
