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.

The following link, if true, reveals a very worrying description of the Environment Agency and its failure to discharge many of its core functions in relation to the river Thames.

It is emphasised that the account comes from one anonymised whistle-blower only and, at the time of writing, the EA has not responded.

Sunbury & Halliford NetZero Survey

Welcome to the Sunbury & Halliford NetZero Survey.
 
Our local County Councillor, Buddhi Weerasinghe has asked us to reach out to our members to take part in this short survey and we are happy to oblige
 
This short consultation survey is to get an understanding of your awareness and interest in Sustainability and NetZero matters in our county. Your feedback will assist us in positioning the right level of support and advisory to help you or your organisation embrace the NetZero challenge in moving towards a cleaner and healthier Sunbury & Halliford.

Residents have until 22 October to give their views on the current dog control public space protection order.
 
The current PSPO has been in place since 2 January 2021 and is being reviewed as required by the above legislation after three years.
 
Over this period, the Council has generally seen a reduction on the number of calls reporting badly behaved dogs or dog fouling, due to the extra powers that the PSPO confers. The signage around the borough, and in all of the parks and open spaces covered by the PSPO also provides an important deterrent. Without the PSPO, the Council would only have the powers to deal with dog fouling, and no powers to deal with other complaints into behaviour of dogs within the Borough.
 
A summary of the current regulations, which are subject to fines if breached, can be found below:
 
? dogs are not permitted in children's play areas, ball courts, multi games courts, tennis courts etc.
? failing to clear dog faeces
? walking more than four dogs
?‍? failing to keep their dogs on leads by direction
? failing to keep dogs on leads in Council cemeteries, leisure centres and named car parks
? failing to carry suitable means for proper disposal of dog faeces
 
Exemptions are in place for working dogs (e.g. guide dogs) and canines in training.
 
Residents will have until 22 October 2023 to register their views. They can do so online by visiting: https://orlo.uk/pZN1z

Alex Garnett has been one of the leading saxophonists in the UK and Mainland Europe for over two decades, being instantly recognized by his dark, husky sound. A versatile musician and first call sideman, he has enjoyed success as both a jazz artist, composer and arranger, and an in demand session, studio and commercial saxophonist, having racked up countless recording credits along the way.

A ubiquitous performer with many of Europe’s leading bands from underground to pop, he’s a regular sideman of choice for many visiting American artists when touring in Europe, and has performed in over 30 countries worldwide appearing at such venues as the Blue Note, Birdland, as well as the Perugia, North Sea, Vittoria, Montreax, and Oslo Jazz Festivals to name but a few, with varied and diverse artists across the spectrum such as Sir John Dankworth, Wynton Marsalis, Pete King, Humphrey Littleton, Scott Hamilton, Van Morrison, Evan Parker and The Rolling Stones, as well as with his contemporaries Gareth Lockrane, Seamus Blake, Phil Robson, Michael Janisch, Joel Frahm, and more.

Alex will be joining the Terence Collie Trio on Sunday, 5th November at the Riverside Arts Centre.

The following email has been forwarded to LoSRA and we are pleased to reproduce it here:

Surrey County Council will be designing proposals to improve the streets in Lower Sunbury. 

Proposals will be developed that can make streets safer, healthier and more attractive, with lower traffic speed limits and improved facilities for walking, wheeling and cycling.

We want to hear from people who live, work, travel through and spend time in the Lower Sunbury area. We are interested in hearing what the key local transport issues are and what could be changed to improve the streets in Lower Sunbury. The views of local stakeholders are important to us and so it would be very much appreciated if you could share this with members within your organisation who may be interested in providing their views. The views of individuals as well as those on the behalf of schools, organisations and businesses are being gathered at this early stage before any plans are developed.

Find out more and tell us what you think online at https://lowersunbury.commonplace.is/

The Project Team will be hosting two engagement sessions to answer any questions and gather views.

Both events will be held in the Sunbury Adult Learning Centre, The Avenue, Sunbury-on-Thames, TW16 5DZ on the following dates: 

  • Thursday 19 October 2023 from 1:30pm until 6pm.
  • Saturday 28 October 2023 from 10am until 1pm. 
     

The engagement period closes on 31 October 2023.
