It was nice to see everyone that helped campaign during the local elections and thank them for their hard work. Any organisation is only strong as its people and we’ve got an excellent group, providing a good base for the next set of elections. It‘s been a pleasure and a real learning curve being Deputy-Chaiman Political and leading the campaign. I’m glad that we’ve managed to double our number of councillors in Epsom and Ewell 😏. A big bonus!

This Thursday (29th Sept) at the Special Meeting for the Strategy and Resources Committee, there is a real risk that Epsom and Ewell Borough Council will block the efforts of the Friends of Horton Cemetery to reclaim Horton Cemetery for the public and the relatives of the 9000 patients buried there. This is because a Council officer is advising Councillors that the site is "amenity woodland" and should be valued as such at £250,000. We say this advice is very mistaken.

A Cemetery is a cemetery for all time unless an Act of Parliament permits its development. The organisation have had expert valuations that make a Compulsory Purchase Order affordable in the region of £1000 to £25,000. The property speculator who acquired it from the NHS in 1983 will not negotiate. Hence compulsion via the Council is necessary.

Please send emails as soon as possible to Epsom and Ewell Borough Councillors and the Chair of the Committee, Cllr Neil Dallon - [email protected].

Sample message:

A. I am shocked to find out that the Council on Thursday 29th September may block progress in reclaiming Horton Cemetery for the community. It is not amenity woodland and should not be valued as such. It is and always will be a cemetery. Relatives of the buried should be able to pay their respects there. Please adjourn the vote to allow more time for The Friends of Horton Cemetery charity to establish with additional expert reports the proper valuation.

It was great to be out in Livingstone Park today with our MP, Chris Grayling. It was excellent to hear from residents about ideas and issues in the area, especially with such good weather.
