Since the original post about this (see July 21, 2016) – various suggestions have been put forward as detailed below:-

PLEASE NOTE:- these are at this stage simply ideas, projects and aspirations put forward by groups and individuals; they are not endorsed by the HRA but we hope they will encourage and focus debate about what might benefit Hersham in the future.  Further comments and suggestions would be welcome.

Ideas:-

• Make a schedule of trees that enhance the street scene of Hersham, and help advise Elmbridge which trees in Hersham need protection by making tree preservation orders for them.
• Establish a cash point machine in Hersham Centre which is free – with no charges.
• Create some kind of ‘Hersham Hero award’ – based on nominations to identify and recognise a person who has done something significant, perhaps behind the scenes, to benefit Hersham
• Start up a range of clubs and societies (where these are not provided for elsewhere).  These could perhaps be advertised and promoted though a connection with the HRA.  For example – does Hersham need a chess club, and cycling club, perhaps it’s own theatre group?  Any thoughts or ideas along these lines – we would be interested to hear.
• A cycle lane down the Queens Road from Sir Richards Bridge roundabout – and along other busy roads in Hersham to make them safer and more cycle friendly
• Hold a potato / marrow / or pumpkin growing competition
• Explore seriously the idea of having a bridge over the river Mole which would allow walkers access from the Burhill Road / Turners Lane area on the Hersham side to West End village.
• Explore the idea of Hersham being twinned with another town in Europe or beyond
• Hold some kind of Christmas market in Hersham Green Shopping Centre
• Carry out some kind of survey designed to find out / confirm what Hersham residents want
