Welcome to the LOSRA Website

As with any other local neighbourhood, the policies and actions which affect the character and future of Lower Sunbury are generally framed and implemented by a combination of local and national government, along with the vested interests and market forces which operate within those frameworks. Lower Sunbury is by no means unique in being under threat from a creaking infrastructure brought about by rapid urban development, the growth of traffic, and other pressures affecting the quality of life and the character of the area.

Working with the local authorities, we see it as the responsibility of residents’ and amenity groups such as LOSRA to address the underlying issues which fundamentally affect their members’ lives, as well as the minutiae of everyday life with which such groups are often concerned.

Please sign up to receive our regular e-bulletins by subscribing via the facility at the top left hand of this page. It goes without saying that, without your continued support we would cease to function so we urge you to join, or renew your membership now Subscriptions (£5 per household) for 2024 are now payable.

BESS is back...here we go again!

On 12 September a new application by Sunbury BESS Limited (via its agent DWD Property and Planning) for its proposed Battery Energy Storage System on Green Belt land adjacent to the Charlton Lane Eco Park appeared on the Spelthorne Council planning list.

Readers will recall that the original application for this unprecedented proposal was recommended by the Spelthorne Planning Officer for refusal prior to consideration by the Planning Committee meeting in June.

In the event, the application was withdrawn by Sunbury BESS Limited before it could be considered by the Committee.

To see our objection to this latest application, click here

Further to the article posted here on 16th September, please note that The Lower Sunbury Street Improvement Scheme consultation closes on 20th October.

The next Music Night at Sunbury Cricket Club is on Friday 11th October when the Club welcomes the great bluesman PAPA GEORGE, making a welcome return after a break of 18 months, playing at the Club once again with his own band. He did a rousing show with the same band line-up to a packed house on that occasion, so this is one not to be missed

Singer and guitarist Papa George is one of the great British blues troubadours, who has been a fixture on the club and festival circuit since the 1970s, and is sufficiently renowned to have been inducted into the Blues Hall Of Fame in the USA. He will be appearing with bass player Pete Stroud, well-known at the club from his appearances with Bad Influence, and, extraordinarily, a drummer also called Pete Stroud, formerly with Sassafras, who has played at the Club with Paul Cox, and is also a member of The Foundations.

Muddy Waters’ guitarist Bob Margolin called George “A powerful deep blues player….a spectacular blues artist. He’s got power and nuance as a master entertainer”. Broadcaster Bob Harris says George plays “electric blues at its very best”. There’s more information at www.papageorge.co.uk.

Hot food, prepared by the Club's resident caterers Surplus To Supper, will be available as usual from about 6.30pm, with the band on stage around 8.30 pm or soon after, so it's hoped you can make it.

Admission is £10.00 on the door, payable by cash or card.

Many residents will already have received a letter from Surrey County Council. For those who missed it, please go to:

It should be noted that two engagement events will be held by the Project Team at the Sunbury Adult Learning Centre, The Avenue, TW16 5DZ on 24th September (1.30-6pm) and 5th October (10am-1pm).
