all about the PRA

The Pixham Residents Association was formed in 2009 with the idea of enhancing our local environment and strengthening our community through encouragement of joint activities. As well as putting on successful social events, such as the Pixham Summer Fete, monthly coffee mornings and pop-up pubs, we have initiated a number of community projects, campaigned to make Old Pixham School a community centre, others are in the pipeline.

PROPOSED SALE OF THE DEPOT AND ADJOINING FIELD, PIXHAM

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Depot is directly opposite Old Pixham School:  the field is to the north and the area west of the red line belongs to Thames Water, separated from the river and the Treatment Works by a wide bank. 

Mole Valley District Council want to auction these areas.  They plan to market them as separate lots to sell at the same time, in June, to the highest bidder(s) and will set a reserve of £500,000. If The Depot doesn’t reach the reserve they won’t auction the field. 

The proposed sale will be considered at the next Scrutiny Committee meeting on Tuesday March 7th; if passed, the proposal will go to the MVDC Cabinet meeting on March 21st for approval. That allows them 3 months for marketing which will be widespread; they have some London auction houses in mind.

There are various issues associated with these proposals which will concern residents, and the PRA is taking action to raise these with MVDC - for full details of the site, PRA action and how to respond click here.

Update 8th March

At last night’s meeting of the Council’s Scrutiny Committee, it was decided to remove the field from sale until a full ecological survey has been done. This will take until autumn to complete. However, Scrutiny recommended that sale of The Depot goes ahead and that will now be discussed at the Cabinet meeting on 21st March. It’s not yet a ‘done deal’ so please let us know if you have any thoughts or information.

Speakers referred several times to the detailed and informative letters from the PRA and local residents.  These letters definitely influenced the discussion, so thanks to all who wrote in.

Thoughts and comments are welcomed:  email chairpra@yahoo.co.uk or leave a message on the contact page
