Welcome to the LOSRA Website

As with any other local neighbourhood, the policies and actions which affect the character and future of Lower Sunbury are generally framed and implemented by a combination of local and national government, along with the vested interests and market forces which operate within those frameworks. Lower Sunbury is by no means unique in being under threat from a creaking infrastructure brought about by rapid urban development, the growth of traffic, and other pressures affecting the quality of life and the character of the area.

Working with the local authorities, we see it as the responsibility of residents’ and amenity groups such as LOSRA to address the underlying issues which fundamentally affect their members’ lives, as well as the minutiae of everyday life with which such groups are often concerned.

Please sign up to receive our regular e-bulletins by subscribing via the facility at the top left hand of this page. It goes without saying that, without your continued support we would cease to function so we urge you to join, or renew your membership now Subscriptions (£5 per household) for 2024 are now payable.

The next Music Night at Sunbury Cricket Club is on Friday 24th November, and features BAD INFLUENCE, which is a change of plan from the previously advised schedule, which listed SKELETON CREW. Unfortunately, they have a health issue in the band and have had to pull out, so BAD INFLUENCE stepped forward from their scheduled February date to fill the slot.

BAD INFLUENCE is one of our most popular bands, and have done some storming shows for the Club, including headlining one of their Beer Festivals, so we are always delighted to welcome them back as it’s been well over a year since they last played at the here.

They feature Val Cowell on guitar and vocals, Richard Hayes on guitar, Pete Stroud on bass, and Johnny Brister on drums, performing their distinctive brand of hard-hitting up-front blues/rock, blending original material from their albums with interpretations of material from the likes of Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt and Fleetwood Mac. It will be a fine evening of archetypal Sunbury Music Night fare. There’s more info at www.badinfluence.org.uk.

It's £10.00 on the door payable by cash or cards.

As previously noted, we are starting the shows a bit earlier these days, as the room tends to be full by about 8.30, so the band will be on stage by about 8.40 - 8.45.  The bar is open from 6pm and hot food will be available from around 6.30. It promises to be a great night and we look forward to seeing you there. The fliers for the event are attached - please share them with any friends who might be interested. We look forward to seeing you there.

 Please note also that the website where Music Night information is carried is now www.sunburysports.org/music-club/

This year’s Sunbury Christmas Market, organized by the Lower Sunbury Business Community (LSBC). is being held on Thursday 7th December between 5pm and 8.00pm on Avenue Parade (outside the shops) in Lower Sunbury.

It's one of the highlights of the social calendar and always well attended. It promises gift and food stalls, meet Santa (5pm - 7pm) and carols with the Salvation Army (6:30pm).
 
The road will be closed to traffic during the event and the money raised will be used for the Sunbury community. As in previous years, LOSRA will have a stall at the market so do feel free to pay us a visit!
 
It will be a most enjoyable evening for both adults and children judging from previous successful years!

The following link, if true, reveals a very worrying description of the Environment Agency and its failure to discharge many of its core functions in relation to the river Thames.

It is emphasised that the account comes from one anonymised whistle-blower only and, at the time of writing, the EA has not responded.

Sunbury & Halliford NetZero Survey

Welcome to the Sunbury & Halliford NetZero Survey.
 
Our local County Councillor, Buddhi Weerasinghe has asked us to reach out to our members to take part in this short survey and we are happy to oblige
 
This short consultation survey is to get an understanding of your awareness and interest in Sustainability and NetZero matters in our county. Your feedback will assist us in positioning the right level of support and advisory to help you or your organisation embrace the NetZero challenge in moving towards a cleaner and healthier Sunbury & Halliford.

Residents have until 22 October to give their views on the current dog control public space protection order.
 
The current PSPO has been in place since 2 January 2021 and is being reviewed as required by the above legislation after three years.
 
Over this period, the Council has generally seen a reduction on the number of calls reporting badly behaved dogs or dog fouling, due to the extra powers that the PSPO confers. The signage around the borough, and in all of the parks and open spaces covered by the PSPO also provides an important deterrent. Without the PSPO, the Council would only have the powers to deal with dog fouling, and no powers to deal with other complaints into behaviour of dogs within the Borough.
 
A summary of the current regulations, which are subject to fines if breached, can be found below:
 
? dogs are not permitted in children's play areas, ball courts, multi games courts, tennis courts etc.
? failing to clear dog faeces
? walking more than four dogs
?‍? failing to keep their dogs on leads by direction
? failing to keep dogs on leads in Council cemeteries, leisure centres and named car parks
? failing to carry suitable means for proper disposal of dog faeces
 
Exemptions are in place for working dogs (e.g. guide dogs) and canines in training.
 
Residents will have until 22 October 2023 to register their views. They can do so online by visiting: https://orlo.uk/pZN1z
