A "disgusted" councillor has spoken out against the developers of the Epsom station site who are seriously disrupting the lives of residents.
Epsom and Ewell councillor Neil Dallen said the situation at Horsley Close, situated behind Epsom station, is "unacceptable" and believes the developers of the new station should be doing more to keep disruption to residents at a minimum.
His concerns echo those of Janet Burgess, of the Horsley Close Action Group, who said residents are fed-up with lorries coming in and out of the road to collect and deliver materials for the new station and pavements being closed-off.
Coun Dallen said: "The contractors said Horsley Close would only be used to store material needed for the Horsley Close car park development, but lorries are coming into the road to pick up material for the station development.
"The footpath alongside the Close had to be closed and the fencing used to do this to intrudes into the road.
"Horsley Close is also being used as a pick-up and drop-off point for people from the station in the evenings, which doesn’t help when residents are trying to get in and out of their driveways."
He said there are also problems where the footpath has been closed off in Waterloo Road.
"It has been closed for months as materials are being stored on it.
"The blind and elderly walk along there and although there is someone manning the crossing between 9-5 what about outside of these times?
"The developers are doing what they like and the council is not controlling them.
"I’m disgusted with developers who call themselves considerate developers."
