period on the <strong>Borough</strong>’s historic and archaeological assets will need to be<br />

assessed on a case by case basis. Any costs of works to listed buildings or for<br />

archaeological excavations would normally be funded by the relevant site<br />

owner/developer. No specific schemes that would need funding over the plan<br />

period have been identified.<br />

43 It is concluded that there is sufficient provision of cultural venues and activities<br />

in the <strong>Borough</strong> itself and in the area surrounding the <strong>Borough</strong> to provide for an<br />

increased population over the plan period. Whilst there are no known plans for<br />

any new facilities within the <strong>Borough</strong> at this stage, this is not to say that there<br />

will not be further opportunities for development or enhancement in this area<br />

over the plan period.<br />

Chapter 14-Emergency Services and Flooding<br />

Police<br />

44 Surrey Police has undertaken some work to assess future demands on the<br />

service resulting from population changes and proposed housing development<br />

over the coming years. Surrey Police has stated that the increase in<br />

population and households across the County generally is likely to have<br />

significant impacts on staffing and transport resources. One of the locations in<br />

which development is considered by the police to have a significant impact on<br />

the demand for their services is North Surrey (where <strong>Runnymede</strong> is located).<br />

Whilst this may be the case however, the Surrey <strong>Infrastructure</strong> Capacity<br />

Project Phase 1 Final Report, June 2009 showed that at the time of writing,<br />

both Addlestone and Egham Police Stations had spare capacity (in terms of<br />

facilities). Egham Police Station is now for sale for redevelopment. Given that<br />

this site is being disposed of, it is not envisaged that further facilities will be<br />

required in the <strong>Borough</strong> over the plan period.<br />

45 Associated with crime and disorder, a network of CCTV cameras in the<br />

<strong>Borough</strong> currently exist which will need replacing or upgrading over the plan<br />

period. Extensions to the network are also proposed. The<br />

upgrading/replacement works and expansion works would have a combined<br />

cost of £823,000. A number of other specific projects related to crime and<br />

disorder are proposed including those related to tackling anti social behaviour<br />

and domestic abuse. The combined cost of all of the projects over the plan<br />

period is estimated to be £340,500. None of the schemes identified currently<br />

have any streams of funding in place.<br />

Fire and Rescue<br />

46 There are two fire stations in the <strong>Borough</strong>, which are located at Chertsey and<br />

Egham. In recent years there has been a significant reduction in firefighter<br />

posts across Surrey. Within the <strong>Borough</strong> itself, the number of fire engines has<br />

also been reduced by removing the 2nd vehicle from Chertsey Fire Station in<br />

2005.<br />

47 Up to at least 2020, Surrey Fire and Rescue Services (SFRS) state that in the<br />

north of Surrey (where <strong>Runnymede</strong> is located), existing provision will be<br />

adequate to meet growth. As such, no additional infrastructure is envisaged to<br />

be required in the <strong>Borough</strong> over the plan period at this time.<br />

Ambulance<br />

48 Surrey is served by the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb)<br />

which provides services across the whole of the South East Coast region –<br />
