@ColinPike2 Unfortunately there is no entitlement - they are distributed as and when our volunteers are available. If this is a pressing concern, however, please feel free to offer your services.

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

@ColinPike2 No, we haven't disbanded, and we'll be making further announcements in due course about future meetings. Regarding bollards, their placement doesn't prevent parking on pavements, which we're sure would bother you if you were disabled or pushing a pram and had to take to the road.

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

@ColinPike2 Thank you for your valuable input. It's worth noting however that ARRA is manned solely by volunteers. If you have some time on your hands please feel free to help us with delivering newsletters.

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

Contrary to the rumour that ARRA has disbanded, we can categorically state that this is NOT the case! We're working hard making arrangements for future events and meetings, and we'll let you know more soon!

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

For various reasons we have decided to vacate our meeting facility at Charles Sumner House with immediate effect; we are currently finalising arrangements for a new place to meet. So we'll be letting everyone know about when and where in the VERY near future!

Having listened carefully to residents' concerns, Lib Dem Councillors voted unanimously to withdraw the latest CPZ proposal. https://t.co/iHxI3WLkBs

Try doing this anywhere else in the borough and they'd be clamped or towed - so why should it be any different on our estate?

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

@KingstonLibDems Could you please explain how charging us more money to park will reduce air pollution? Also, if vehicles are parked then they will have zero emissions for the duration of their stay.. ergo, parking should be free.

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

So RBK has postponed the introduction of residents' parking permits on the estate, despite their consultation. Meanwhile, the cleverly-placed bollards are working to deter inconsiderate parking..

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

This event has been CANCELLED, but has been rescheduled for Sunday 10th at 11am

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

Our local Police are holding a drop-in session TODAY at Charles Sumner House from 6-7pm. Come along to say hello and get some information about what's happening in the area. All welcome @MPSBerrylands

@CNMEstates . You Howard Road property hoarding has now collapsed. Doesnt seem to be much of a priority for you or your contractor. @ArraSurbiton

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

Thanks to Kingston Council for organising a course on how the latest data protection laws can affect residents' associations - very informative, and lots to consider! Good to see so many other RAs attending too :-)

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

@FishpondsSurb Done! :-)

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

Please don't forget our EGM meeting is next Tuesday 29th in Charles Sumner House, Hobill Walk at 7pm. Hopefully we'll be electing several new members to the committee! Could one of them be YOU?

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

@MPSBerrylands Thank you! We've put it on our Facebook page as well..

[Met Contact Centre @MetCC]

You can now report crime online thanks to a new online service.

This is not an automated service – each report will be triaged by an experienced call handler. https://t.co/e0bPdKmS2L

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

Thankyou to everyone who came to the Christmas Party today - it was a fantastic turnout! All the children - and their parents - went away happy, and probably a little tired too. Hopefully we can do it all again next year!

[Kingston Council @RBKingston]

Hook Road, Surbiton - Emergency gas main repair underway by @SGNgas Temporary traffic lights on Hook Rd near roundabout and A3. Allow for potential delays, and consider alternative route. #Surbiton #Hook #Tolworth

UPDATE: Garage rents have risen almost 100% since this report was published. There are 123 garages on the estate, and at the end of 2017 only 85 were occupied. If they were all rented at an affordable rate that would be another 38 vehicles out of the equation!

[Alpha Road Residents Association @ArraSurbiton]

A possible solution to the parking problem on the estate? This report was published over 4 years ago - since then garage rents have risen by almost 85% and, unsurprisingly, occupancy has fallen.
