Great cause for celebration. The manhole cover has been fixed - it only took 9 weeks. Feels like Attenborough was a toddler when the works order got issued! The village is just a little quieter this morning.

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

There’s a noisy manhole cover in the high street. Every time a vehicle goes over it there’s a loud metallic sound. How long will it last before it breaks/opens up as a pothole?

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

Still keeping neighbours awake a night. Still clunking like the Tin man from Wizard of Oz line dancing! Come on #SurreyHighways get on it

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

Well done to you all. What an achievement.

[Bletchingley Choir @BletchingleyCC]

Competition was tough with some fabulous choir performances but … we only went & won!

We’re so very proud of the choir for working hard on the two pieces we performed last night. Winners well deserved. Huge thanks & congratulations to @philippaberry our leader.
A superstar 🌟

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

Good luck to you all - let’s hope it all goes well.

The stage is set & the choir is ready. It’s time for us to perform at the fabulous Reigate & Redhill Music and Drama festival, our favourite night of the year. See you later @rr_fest

6 weeks on and it’s still clunking and clanking like an epileptic Oscar the Grouch.

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

Wear and tear or vandalism? Either way, the bench opposite Outwood Lane is needing some attention.

[Bletchingley Choir @BletchingleyCC]

We’re back tomorrow having had a slightly late start to the term. Before we sing we have our steering meeting.
We'll review last year, we'll look at what we’re singing, we'll talk about the 2026 events then open the floor to hear comments, ideas & opinions from members. #choir

Pot holes growing in quantity and in size. Corkers currently on Sandy lane and on the A25 diversion coming into Godstone (B2236 Eastbourne Road opposite road closures). Fix them please @TandridgeDC #surreyhighways

Progress towards local government reorganisation transition ➡️

Last year, government decided Surrey’s county and district & borough councils should reorganise into two new unitary authorities – West Surrey Council and East Surrey Council.

A key milestone in the reorganisation process has been reached, with some local councillors coming together for the first time as committees to lay the foundations for the transition.

The East Surrey Voluntary Joint Committee met on Thursday 15 January at the Surrey County Council office in Reigate, and the West Surrey Voluntary Joint Committee met on Friday 16 January at Woking Borough Council.

Both committees will now meet monthly and will rotate around their areas, until the shadow authorities are formed after the elections in May 2026.

Has Eliza & ‘The Guardians of Alders Shaw’ NIMBY considered the benefits of allowing new homes to be built in Bletchingley? Support & grow community/economy, keep the pubs alive, grow Church numbers, housing for local/young people, investment in facilities and much more. Maybe?

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

Church lane still closed.
A25 to Redhill now open.
Keeping us guessing.

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

Traffic is taking it (sensibly) slow through the village this morning. Roads are wet but also slippery so take care out there.

[Bletchingley @Bletchingley]

Are we ready for some more snow? #snow

[Met4Cast - UK Weather @Met4CastUK]

COLD AND WINTRY!
