7. Christmas. We have been successful in gaining a main sponsor Mundays a Law firm well respected and established in Weybridge. We are very grateful for their support. Xmas event plans are progressing well for our Christmas Market on November 30th. We still need a local celebrity to switch on the lights.

9. Dementia training is available to us all.
10. The Brooklands Accessibility scheme that will connect the Town to Brooklands is progressing well and will develop next year. We have been involved in new signage throughout the Town identifying our attributes and attractions, this will be a big achievement for us as we identified this as a need some years ago. The Heath Road footpath that has vexed many of us will be open and accessible to all.
11. The Local Plan review is current.
12. We agreed to develop links with landlords to see if we can increase their commitment to the Town as we currently have the highest number of vacant shops in our period of office (24)
