Chessington District Residents' Association

The next Ward Panel Police Meeting is being held on Thursday the 20th of January at 7pm. The venue is the Safari Hotel at the Chessington World of Adventures. If you have any concerns that you would like to talk to our local police about please come along. Even if you don’t have any particular concerns you might still like to come and hear what has been happening in Chessington during this last quarter and meet our local police.

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 1st February at 7.30pm. The venue is St Paul’s Centre 280, Hook Road,  KT9 1PF. Our meetings last for approximately two hours and are usually held on the first Tuesday of each month. Anyone is welcome to attend

On the 18^th of October we learnt that  Councillor Caroline Kerr from Canbury Ward is stepping down as Leader of the Council.  We were surprised to learn this as she has only been in this post for a relatively short time.

The good news is that she has been replaced by Councillor Andreas Kirsch who is a Councillor in Chessington South.  We have always found Andreas to be very conscientious.  Our residents’ association wish him all the best in what, we are sure, will be a challenging time for him.

The Lidl planning application to demolish two semi detached houses in order to create additional car parking spaces has been refused by the RBK planning department.

This planning application has been refused. You can read the many reasons for rejection under planning news. However, the applicant has appealed. The Inspectorate in Bristol is opening a virtual inquiry at 10.00am on 21 September 2021.
