Epsom & Walton Downs Consultative Committee October Meeting

A lot of actions which had been on the to do list were signed-off as completed at the Consultative Committee meeting on the evening of 14 October 2024 .

The Committee is chaired by Councillor Steven McCormick and Councillor Bernice Froud is a member. The Committee also has a representative.

There was one item on the agenda at the request of Councillor Froud which was of direct relevance to Langley Vale and it was confirmed that there would be a site meeting shortly by the Council Tree Officer to inspect the state of the trees in Warren Wood behind Mannamead and Mannamead Close.

The Committee also had the opportunity to comment on the proof of the notice board content which the committee was assured would be finalised and put-up very soon now. 

Other issues covered at the meeting included the condition of tracks and hacks; progress with the removal of spoil heaps; pot-hole repairs on the Old Road;  out of control dogs on the Downs; anti-social behaviour in the car-parks,  the management of grassland and a feasibility study to investigate reintroducing grazing to Juniper Hill and a new vendor in the 7 furlong being piloted.

We were asked to put out a further appeal for Volunteers to help with the management of the Downs. Please let us know if you have time to volunteer – it would be very rewarding and much appreciated.

Also if you experience anti-social or see dangerous behaviour please ring 999 and report the incident. That is the only way they will get addressed.   You can use the contact us link on the Epsom & Ewell Council website to report other issues that need action by the management team”.
