Project update

Thank you to everyone who completed our survey in the autumn. We are now taking the time to review the feedback and incorporate this into new proposals for improvements to the village. We are working on a few different possible options that address the feedback from residents as well as that from research carried out earlier last year.

Once we have designs prepared, we will share them with you and ask for your feedback, before proceeding. We expect to be able to share proposals in May.

Please note that, whilst both Surrey County Council and Epsom & Ewell Borough Council are supportive of the project principals, definitive funding amounts have yet to be allocated. Once initial plans are agreed and supported by residents, we will seek the required level of funding for the works.

This is what you told us…

Last summer, we conducted in-depth research with residents about their feedback on the good bits and bad bits of Ewell Village, and what they would like to see improved. This research was in-depth, qualitative research with a smaller number of people. To validate the results of this, in autumn we shared the main themes and asked if you agreed. Here is some of the feedback we received:

  • 77% of you are concerned or very concerned about road safety in Ewell Village, including congestion, through traffic and narrow pavements.
  • In addition, 69% of you agreed that the pedestrian environment is challenging or very challenging. By this we mean uneven or unsafe pavements, inaccessible routes and lack of or inadequate crossing points.
  • 68% of you agreed that Ewell Village looks a bit scruffy and unloved and could do with sprucing up.
  • 80% of you would like to see more diverse and interesting businesses on the high street and believe that this would encourage you to visit more.
  • 68% of you think more could be done to promote Ewell’s past and historical significance.
  • We look forward to sharing the proposals with you in Spring and hearing your feedback on the designs.
