After being fined for driving through Surbiton Crescent, a resident who made submissions about inadequate signage has won his Appeal with the Independent Parking Adjudicator.

Surbiton Liberal Democrats, have been campaigning for 20mph in the town centre and residential roads since 2014. 

The Conservative manifesto, produced for the local elections held in May this year, promised residents “they would be consulted rigorously and widely when the Council proposes changes in policy.”

But behind closed doors, in early July, the Conservative Leader of the Council, Councillor Kevin Davis, signed an official request for action agreeing to consider moving the Health and Wellbeing Centre from Surbiton Health Centre, next to Lime Tree Primary School, to Hollyfield House, Hollyfield Road.

It will open with a nursery class and two reception classes this September.
