The SGN gas works continue to cause a lot of problems, particularly at the moment with the 3-way lights on Bluehouse Lane and Granville Road, Limpsfield. Try to avoid if possible. They are scheduled to go on through to March 30.

Chairman of the Limpsfield Parish Council, John Thompson met with Pat Moore of the Oxted Patient Action Group and Dr David Hill from Oxted Health Centre yesterday to deliver a much-needed 24 hour ECG machine.
Our resident history buff, Cllr Ashley Fosdike has been clearing out the Parish Office (the original office located at The Pound on Wolfs Row) and sorting / reviving all the historical documents, so we can get them properly archived and safe for future generations.
She’s found some amazing treasures, some going back to the 1700s, including deeds, maps, poor relief payments, agenda and minutes.
Amongst these items she also uncovered a folder of non-Parish Council related letters and documents belonging to a certain WH Wood (Walter Wood), who was apparently a local estate agent (based on Limpsfield High Street) and former Clerk to the Limpsfield Parish Council for an astounding 39 years until the end of the 1950s. He died in 1963 and was married to an E Wood and we believe lived in Ellice Road, Oxted.
Does anyone know WH Wood’s family? We’d love to be able to return the folder to them if they are interested in the contents (if not, we can archive).

Horrid weather or not, our footpath improvement project made great strides today as the fabulous East Surrey Walkers team installed the LPC funded gates at Chartlands Farm, Caxton Lane in Limpsfield Chart.
We hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to a great New Year… The bin men have been working very hard keeping up with collections, and in order to help with general rubbish and recycling collection, garden waste collections will not take place this week (30 December) and rubbish collections will be a day late (except for those collections taking place today, Tuesday 31 December).
It’s been a very positive and productive year for the Limpsfield Parish Council, having had our Neighbourhood Plan adopted and new councillors injecting some extra enthusiasm and positivity!
ELECTION DECEMBER 12 2019. Please be reminded that Limpsfield parish is now split into TWO voting areas: Limpsfield North and Limpsfield South and voters will now be asked to vote at either St Peter’s Church Hall in Limpsfield Village OR St Andrew’s Church Hall on Limpsfield Chart.
Over the weekend Limpsfield residents should have started receiving the LPC News, which is being delivered by both the fabulous Parish News road steward teams (with your Parish News magazine if you’re in the St Peter’s area) and also by our own Parish Council elves!
The newsletter should reach everyone in the Limpsfield Parish by the end of the week.
