Inside this issue

Issue 2410 of the Epsom and Ewell Talking Newspaper provides another great selection of local news.

In this week’s edition, Epsom has commemorated the 80th anniversary of VJ Day on 15th August with a heartfelt service at Saint Martin’s Church. The community gathered to honour this significant milestone with a sombre yet touching ceremony.

We also pay tribute to Epsom and Ewell’s very own shock jock, James Whale, who has sadly passed away. His legacy is remembered with a fitting obituary that captures his vibrant spirit and contributions.

Celebrations are in order for local schools as they proudly announce their A-level results. The achievements of these students are a testament to their hard work and dedication.

In a quirky turn of events, an Epsom and Ewell FC fan now watches matches from a tree, having been banned from the ground. This unique story adds a touch of humour to our edition.

Exciting news for the Surrey Downs Health and Care Partnership, which has been shortlisted for the prestigious Health Service Journal Awards to be held in London this November. This recognition highlights their outstanding contributions to healthcare.

Many of the articles in this edition are brought to you by the Epsom and Ewell Times.
