Spelthorne Borough Council is currently consulting on the first stage of its New Local Plan. The stage is known as a Scoping Consultation and is a very early opportunity for anyone interested, whether they are a resident, local businesses, worker, visitor to the borough or other key stakeholder, to help shape the new Local Plan and how the area develops over the coming years.

At this stage, we’re not making decisions about specific development sites, but asking for views on the key issues facing the area, opportunities, and challenges that the new Plan should address. You can also share your views on specific matters and on how we communicate with you in future.

The consultation is running for six weeks and closes at 11.59pm on Monday 3 August. Once the consultation closes, all responses will be reviewed and used to inform the next stage of preparing the New Local Plan.

The following email has been received from the manager, Hazelwood Centre:

Spelthorne Borough Council has confirmed the rollout of new lamp‑column electric vehicle chargepoints across the borough, with the first installation package now prepared. These charge points will be fitted directly into existing streetlight columns and have been assessed against Surrey’s technical design requirements, with input from the Council’s parking engineers. Divisional Councillors have already been notified of the selected sites.

The chargepoint sockets will be installed into existing lamp columns, no bay markings applied to the road and no new parking restrictions. Installation will not require any excavation and be completed in part of one day. The modest nature of these single chargepoints and the fact that there is no statutory requirement for consultation means that installations will proceed without notification to nearby residents. We expect installations to commence from 22^nd June.
