Ewell Village
Surrey County Council have been working with the community in Ewell to develop a vision for the village. Community-led surveys carried out in 2020/2021 identified areas for improvement, with residents particularly concerned about road safety and congestion, as well as narrow, uneven, and unsafe pavements.
The plans were finalised in mid-2024, following several public exhibitions and an online engagement, in which over 1400 responses were received from local people. The results of the engagement helped decide the way forward and plans were approved by Surrey County Council's Infrastructure Board and Capital Programme Panel in August 2024. Full funding was received in late 2024, and detailed design has continued throughout 2025, meaning we remain on track to deliver the improvements in 2026.
