Surrey County Council

Is Considering changes to how buses are run

Why the need for a review? Source SCC website

Over the past 10 years, costs in the bus industry have been rising much faster than general inflation. Many main bus services, including those in towns, have stopped being commercially viable, requiring Surrey County Council to spend much more in order to keep the network running.

Many of the 240 or so bus services in Surrey require some degree of financial support. In 2001/2 the cost to us was around £4million. By 2009 we were giving over £11million net support each year. This amount of subsidy was continuing to rise and would become unaffordable over the coming years due to the budget pressures we are facing.

The Bus Review gives us an opportunity to take a fresh look at the whole network, where people are travelling to and how often. This means we can focus our investment on the areas or travel opportunities where it is needed the most.
Link Full Story

Service 71:

Guildford-Farncombe-Godalming-Milford-Witley-Wormley-Chiddingfold-Ramsnest-Lythe Hill-Haslemere (Every 60 minutes)

Operating mainly without financial support from Surrey County Council, but some subsidy required for section between Chiddingfold and Haslemere
The Chiddingfold to Haslemere section of route sees very few passengers. On a commercial basis, only the Guildford to Milford section is considered viable. The first choice for Stagecoach could be to run two buses per hour between Guildford and Milford (four per hour between Guildford and Godalming in combination with service 92), with an extension to Witley with financial support from Surrey County Council. At least one of these buses per hour might extend to Chiddingfold.
If this proposal was adopted, between Milford and Witley one bus per hour could run via Petworth Road and one per hour via Haslemere Road, Gasden Lane and Wheeler Lane.
A demand-responsive dial-a-ride service could cover as required the area south of Chiddingfold, linking to Haslemere and Godalming.
On Sundays there would be an option to consider restoring a service, either every hour or every two hours between 0900 and 1800 hrs, between Chiddingfold and Guildford via Eashing Lane Estate and Aarons Hill. Alternatively, a bus might run every hour between Milford and Guildford via Eashing Lane. The implementation of any of these options would depend on overall affordability within the bus support budget.

Waverley pensioners conned by bogus bank couriers

TWO Waverley pensioners were contacted by bogus bank employees who persuaded them to hand over their debit cards and personal details.
The elderly residents were both contacted on Wednesday, 26 October, by someone who claimed to work for their bank and advised a courier was being sent to collect their old debit card.
During the course of these conversations the victims, a 90-year-old woman from Cranleigh and an 87-year-old woman from Alfold, disclosed their PIN details to the caller.
Debit cards were then collected from the women and used to withdraw £500 from each of the victims' bank accounts, at Barclays Bank, Cranleigh. Further purchases with a total value of £1,400 were also made on one of the cards.
The courier who collected the debit card in Cranleigh, is described as a white man in his early 20s, of slim build, with blonde hair and a fringe. He was around 5ft 7 inches tall and was wearing a high-visibility jacket.
The courier who collected the debit card in Alfold, is described as a white man with short brown hair, in his late 20s to early 30s and of slim build. He was clean shaven and was wearing a hi-visibility jacket with dark clothes underneath.
Investigating Officer, Detective Constable Dan Chant, said: "I cannot stress how vital it is for members of the community to remember banks do not operate in this way and they would never request a customer to confirm their PIN details over the phone.
"These elderly victims were preyed upon because of their trusting nature and it is despicable that they have been targeted. I urge anyone who can help us, or who thinks they may have been a victim of a similar scam, to contact us. We need to build up as much evidence against those responsible as possible and bring them to justice."
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Surrey Police on 101, quoting reference WV/11/5821. Alternatively, information can be passed to Crimestoppers anonymously and free of charge by calling 0800 555 111. Call 101 for all non-emergency policing matters. Call 999 if you have a genuine emergency requiring the attendance of the police (e.g. a crime is in progress or someone is in immediate danger). Call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you have information about crime and don't want to leave your name.

' Comment ' Health reform in new crisis as MPs savage Andrew Lansley's plans

Conservative-led committee attacks health secretary as royal colleges call urgent summit

Andrew Lansley's health reforms face a fresh crisis as a powerful committee of MPs says the changes are obstructing efforts to make the NHS more efficient and that they fail to address the most urgent health challenge of modern times – how to care better for an expanding elderly population

These so called reforms of the NHS were never intended to produce a better more efficient NHS. Instead, they are ideologically driven and being used as a smokescreen for its piecemeal privatisation.

Less is spent on it per head of population than most developed countries and it is independently recognised as one of the most efficient health systems in the developed world.

Film Details

Espionage thriller based on the classic novel by John le Carré.
It is the height of the Cold War and British Intelligence is in crisis. An attempt to unmask a Soviet agent (or “mole”) hidden in MI6 has gone badly wrong, forcing the head of the Service and his deputy, George Smiley, into retirement.
In the months that follow the climate of mistrust continues to grow. It seems that the mole has managed to manoeuvre himself into the very top of the Secret Service. With all the current leadership under suspicion, the government asks Smiley, now an outsider, to discover the identity of the traitor. .

After the formal opening by the Mayor of Waverley
there follows a screening of The Years Between

shot on location in Chiddingfold in 1945. Based on a successful play by Daphne du Maurier, and starring Michael Redgrave, Valerie Hobson and Flora Robson, The Years Between is a wartime melodrama about a young woman who turns to politics after the reported death in action of her soldier M.P. husband.

As well as featuring many local landmarks the film includes footage of the genuine VJ day celebrations in the village including some of the earliest recorded scenes of Chiddingfold's famous bonfire. You may even spot former village residents amongst the extras.

The screening will be accompanied by an exhibition of research on the film, its Oscar-winning production team and their relationship with the village, complete with reflections and interviews from those who were there. There will also be a 1940's costume competition and a wide variety of refreshments.

I've written many pieces in our Parish magazine about our bells;
at St Mary's Chiddingfold John.

By now I hope you appreciate that we have a very special legacy in these bells, and I do hope that the village is a much better place for having them. (It would be a very sad thing to NOT have them surely!)

However, I, and the other bell ringers, are mindful that our ringing is intrusive, (loud).
Despite our best efforts, there are occasions when the music is not at it's best, particularly when practice and learners are involved! Whilst we have some sound-control, the sound of the bells does reach parts that other music does not!

So I am asking the village, and anyone else affected, to let me know your views - More
