Welcome to the Chelsham and Farleigh parish website. It has been created to serve the community to inform, and educate, and to generate a forum from the community. The Parish of Chelsham and Farleigh has a unique situation being on the edge of the urban sprawl that is Greater London, barely ten miles from Buckingham Palace and yet we are a very rural community. This presents distinctive challenges for us as a Parish. The Parish Council own and manage a substantial area of common land, including several woodlands and Chelsham Common itself with it’s lovely old pond, and avenue of trees planted by local school children to mark the millennium. The council meets on the first Monday of each month except August, and the public are always welcome to attend. We discuss all the issues facing the community and represent our area to the various authorities and agencies. This is done entirely voluntarily. If you are interested in getting involved with your local council we would be delighted to hear from you. We hope you find this website useful. Simon Peniston-Bird Chairman
Chelsham & Farleigh Parish Council. March 2008. |

First Responders
Southern Region Ambulance Service is piloting a scheme to provide first responders who will be able to reach 999 calls and administer initial first aid support before an ambulance arrives.
Many situations such as cardiac arrest will be dramatically improved by early intervention and this is where the First Responders can make such a difference.
Volunteers will receive full training and support and need commit to as much or as little time as they are able. There is NO requirement to do set shifts or periods merely the opportunity to provide a really valuable service to your community in a way that suits your lifestyle.
Please contact Peter Glover, Responder Operations Manager (Surrey) on 07717720046 or via email on

Following a successful pilot scheme, Tandridge District Council is rolling out their weekly household recycling collection service, including the collection of plastic drinks bottles, to the rest of the District in February 2009. This means that residents of Chelsham and Farleigh will be able to participate in their recycling service every week and help to collect even more recycling by putting their plastic drinks bottles in a blue recycling bag. If you don't have a blue bag, call Tandridge Amenity Services on 01883 722000 to request one.
