Leatherhead Residents Association

Our Next Meeting – TBC

We held the LRA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Monday 21 October 2024. The next meeting will be in January 2025, date to be confirmed.

The AGM included an item confirming the adoption by MVDC of the new Mole Valley Local Plan at a council meeting on 15 October 2024. The Plan looks ahead to 2039 and identifies where the main developments will take place, and how places within the district will change, or be protected from change, over that period. The main role of the Plan is to guide decision-making on individual planning applications.

Copies of the new Mole Valley Local Plan, the Sustainability Appraisal Report, the Inspectors’ Final Report and this Adoption Statement are available on the Council’s website: Adopted Planning Policy Documents – Mole Valley District Council

October 2024 Litter Pick

Thank you to Julia Jarrett for organising our autumn Litter Pick on Sunday, 27th October.  By 4.00pm at least 26 bags filled with an assortment of cans, bottles and general rubbish had been collected by a band of intrepid litter pickers.

Wildlife Aid Foundation

The final part of the AGM meeting was a presentation by Julian Ashworth on the valuable work of Leatherhead’s Wildlife Aid Foundation (https://www.wildlifeaid.org.uk/). Their ethos is Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release and the work they do every day of the year to save injured wildlife is truly astonishing.

The Wildlife Aid Centre

Wildlife Aid are creating an exciting new home that will allow them to continue their work. The need has never been greater. British wildlife is in a perilous state. A quarter of native mammals are at risk of extinction and the UK is now one of the world’s most nature-depleted nations. Their new home will become an important hub for information sharing and environmental education.

The Wildlife Aid Centre is the biggest and boldest project the Wildlife Aid Foundation has ever embarked upon.  See their website for more information.
