Questions related to flood protection measures in Pennypot, the recent Local Government Financial Settlement and previous assertions on the publication of the Council’s draft financial statements. Moreover, following questions the Sustainable Transport & Planning Portfolio Holder advised that discussions were ongoing as to the replacement of the M3 Bagshot Heath footbridge with National and County Highways, with an anticipated reopening in May 2025; and that a meeting had been requested with the Surrey County Council, Cabinet Member for Transport, Highways and Environment Decisions in respect of parking enforcement.
