Hambledon villagers took the opportunity to question their Surrey County Councillor at the annual Parish Assembly which was held at the village hall on Friday night (April 23rd).

Dr Andrew Povey (pictured right), who is the county representative for the area and also leader of the council, was the guest speaker and took questions from the audience.

The county council has responsibility for highways and villagers were keen to ask him what his authority was doing about potholes and road maintenance and the menace of heavy goods vehicles using our narrow lanes, particularly at the Hydestile crossroads.

Issues relating to snow clearance following this winter's heavy snowfall were also raised.

Dr Povey was speaking after the meeting heard reports from representatives of village organisations, outlining activities and achievements during the past 12 months.

A full report of the meeting, including Dr Povey's responses to road maintenance, will be available here next week.
