Invitation to event at Walton Library 4th & 7th November

Our Local Street Improvements Team have sent letters to residents of Walton-on-Thames, with almost 2000 households invited to take part in our<a href="https://waltonlsi.commonplace.is/en-GB/map/map"> Interactive Map </a>survey! We are excited to hear from you and learn about local traffic issues in your neighbourhood. We will be watching our responses closely and collect your views. We have also distributed some leaflets and posters in a number of local spots, including the Walton Library, Walton Community Centre, Riverhouse Barn , Sainsbury&#39;s and the Xcel Leisure Centre.
