Hi, Paul, thanks for the update. I've just been comparing the state of the roads surface and pavements in my road to that of Downside Road in Guildford. Seems the latter have been completely resurfaced and had all the verges returfed some time after August 22, at which date it was in better condition than my road was. Downside Road is a dead end, while my road is a busy through road leading to a school. It's funny how the wealthy elites of Downside Road, Guildford have had hundreds of thousands spend on their road, while mine has been left to rot. How can this be justified?

I found the scribbles on the map very confusing.

Paul, we need a visual of what the island would look like to help us vote?

NO - too much congestion anticipated

I need to see something even a sketch cos I can't envisage an island. We're expecting a roundabout?

It's hard to comment on the proposal of the island without being able to envisage how it'll look. Are there any designs we can look at?

Excellent summarizaton of the legendary concert 👌

What’s left of deepcut barracks?

First One of your videos I have watched and I thought this was an excellent way for your to communicate whats happening in your ward. Thankyou Paul

Thankyou Paul, you are the best Councillor we've ever had. Lived in Mytchett 1964, then Frimley Green from 1982.

my personal issue with Coleford Bridge Road is coming from Farnborough and trying to turn right into the Quays is the lack of decent road markings i that traffic coming the other way is cutting the corner into the right turn lane, because it is not clear it is there - do you have somebody we could talk to about marking this properly? A head on collision waiting to happen, or at least a rear slam when somebody coming from Mytchett has to stomp on the brakes?

Hi Paul, are you on Instagram?

It’s looking really good!!! I love walking around there, with my dogs!

It was quite overgrown and noticed the clean up..big well done.

Could the grass verge at the frimley green roundabout please just be a hard surface - tarmac or similar. I agree with stopping cars turning right onto the front of Boots as this may cause a back log onto the roundabout, but with the disgusting state of the rest of the Borough's grass verges and sidewalks due to the lack of maintenance, it would be a shame to see the green in that state also.

Good news indeed Paul.

Paul, re the traffic mit in Frimley Green. I think the grass verge should be kept as it will be safer and cause less traffic congestion if drivers are not stopping to turn right across on coming traffic

Great job Paul, getting the drop curbs sorted out for the Souther SANGS access. And thanks to CALA Homes for getting it done soon.

Really appreciate these updates Deachy, personally I much prefer the video format as it is good to hear your voice and to be able to hear your emotions

15 minutes of the same 30 second video repeated ad nauseam and with irritating American chat show style commentary superimposed on it dragging it out.. The useful information could have been imparted in less than 5 minutes. Probably 3.😡

Homes for bats! How many homes located there for homeless military veterans?

Agree its an excellent idea. Like the format of the AI discussion - except the US accents as when I've heard similar before its been news presenters talking in fairly obvious ignorance. I'm guessing you have to pay to get British accents?

How are the time restrictions on parking bays going to be policed Paul?

This is so cool! Is that area open to the public to see the air raid shelter or is it fenced off by SKANSKA? Would love to check it out

Can understand the reason given for wanting to resign from his party, but why did he defect to the Conservative Party when he could have been an Independent?

Does the Deepcut community building solar have batteries for storing solar power to use at night?

Great idea - I love the new way of updating us all. Particularly helpful as well to have the ‘jumping points’ to go directly to the points of interest.

Great news about the bus shelter!

In response to charges drivers have started parking on pavements and side streets.

Is the Bat Walk on Tuesday 27th August or Wednesday 28th August? But of date confusion? Unless that's me?! Thanks

So can you give us a contact name at the MOD for reporting this Mytchett Lake bin that is often full as well as another bin at the entrance to the Barossa open space.

Well done Paul for calling out the local Councillors by name. Maybe at the next election voters will remember their lack of action.

Not a local, just admire what you're doing. I might suggest you set your KZbin thumbnails to be a shot of you "out and about", rather than the office - just seems more interesting.

Just for history purposes Paul that's been flooding for years, back when I used to go to school just a few years ago 😁

The cars go very fast along hamsmore road aswell, could do with speed cameras along this road aswell, I have nearly been knocked down a couple of time when walking my dog around 9pm, and fallen over once trying to get out the way

That is good news Paul. Thanks for the update. I too spoke with the engineers on site the other day on my way to the allotments and they indicated that under that bridge is the low point in the area and hence all water ends up there. There is no pump it's all working by gravity so drainage away from there is always going to be slow - even if the new drains are of greater capacity and are kept clear. So, natural spring or rainwater run off, I was wondering where this water goes, by gravity. I assume there must be a gentle fall allowing the drain to empty into the lake behind the old Mitie/ Mid-Southern Water Offices? A nearby and related problem, which I fear could well undo all the good work just completed by these engineers, is the perennially blocked drains outside Frimley Lodge Park opposite the Scaffolders. I have - in my observant but amateurish way - surveyed the problem and its likely root cause. I think the source of the problem is the footpath over the bridge into Mytchett which is bounded by scrubby undergrowth, (stinging nettles, brambles and so forth), all spilling out from under the guard rail. The problem is that this undergrowth and all the attendant leaf-fall from the trees has, over the years, built up the soil levels to be HIGHER than the footpath. When it rains this soil is washed across the footpath and into the road/ gutter and is washed downhill towards Frimley Lodge Park. The soil and silt is clearly visible to anyone and everyone who walks there daily (as I do). It is washed into the drain gulleys, along with tree debris, and simply silts them up. Even the drain which is part way up the bridge slope, and which you'd think would be kept clear by rapid downhill flow, is completely filled and often buried in silt. I can only assume that the drain under the road must be blocked too. The silting process continues and is repeated down at the next drainage gulley opposite the Scaffolders where the road floods. It seems to me that all that silt will eventually/ gradually flow onward to the newly serviced drains at Sturt Road Bridge and may well block it all up. What is needed is a couple of fellahs with their shovels to clear the footpath undergrowth back down into the embankment and BELOW the height of the footpath. A roadsweeper to clear the current debris accumulated in the gutter, then a serious bit of gulley sucking to clear the drains of all the silt therein. If they do it all correctly - the job will be done once and for all and will only need a modest bit of strimming once or twice a year to keep the undergrowth and the soil level where it should be. Yours - optimistically, Peter

thank you for sharing this

The country lanes remind me of Mitchel Dever, lovely video.

The strange location of the dog bins is probably like another one on Tomlins Avenue. When it was placed it was in the open, but since then the trees and undergrowth extended to envelop it.

i can't stand when dog owners get their babies to prod alsations, climb on them and allow their dog to lick the baby in the mouth and tongue

Thankyou for all your support for mytchett and deepcut

Great video Paul. Very informative and great quality. Thank you for all your efforts on behalf all Deepcut Frimley and Mytchett residents. It really is much appreciated.

I notice that the new path has signs only for cycles, nothing to show pedestrians will be using the path. Let's hope cyclists don't believe the path is exclusively for them.

Lol if you're good with animals, Canada geese with goslings aren't afraid of you and are not hostile. I do this all the time, usually the goslings are more scared to approach, but the parents come to get food from me

Bless you Paul! You work so hard!

Whilst I think of you highly the conservative government have driven this country into the ground, using devisive tactics to make us fight against each other. Had you gone forward for the MP the conservatives in this area might have had a better chance.

Reluctantly we’ve voted tactically (postal) to keep the Lib Dems out. Under normal circumstances there’s no way we’d vote for a Johnny come lately who lives outside the constituency and (to my mind) has a questionable military background

Refоrm for me.

I am voting Reform.

Thank you for that very sensible summing up of the situation but unfortunately I am afraid the Lib dem hate campaign has probably been too effective. Rest assured that I have no intention of voting for anyone but Conservative, they are not perfect but definitely the best choice among what is on offer. I sincerely hope there are enough others who think the same to save us from the disaster of the Lib dems and consequently a labour majority in Westminster.
