A number of volunteers including some children joined in our Elstead Spring Clean on Saturday 8^th April when we really set to with our litter pickers and cleaned up the village. It certainly makes a difference - a big thank you to everyone who came to help.

Concerns have been raised about the junior motorcycles being ridden around the village and the dangers to other road users and pedestrians. The police have been informed and we have requested the appropriate action as soon as possible. This dangerous practice appears now to have ceased.

The Elstead Recreational Trust opened the new pavilion for visitors on Saturday 8^th April to see what a superb building we now have in the village - many people came and enjoyed a walk  round inside. At the time of writing the old pavilion is being demolished and then the car park and surrounding area can be completed.

COMMUNITY SPEED WATCH
The Speed watch schemes are run locally by volunteers supported by Surrey Police to re-educate drivers about the dangers of speeding as well as addressing concerns about inappropriate speeding in specific spots in a village. At least six volunteers who contribute a minimum of an hour a week are required to set up a Speed Watch Scheme. All volunteers are provided with specific training on how to use the equipment, safe working procedures for using the speed detection equipment, how to monitor the speed of vehicles safely and advice on dealing with enquiries from other road users.

If you wish to volunteer or simply find out more contact Waverley Borough Casualty Reduction Officer PC Andy Crane via e-mail at 1966@surrey.pnn.police.uk or telephone 0845 125 2222.
