Issue 2424 of the Epsom & Ewell Talking Newspaper highlights a busy period of local developments and community issues. Several major planning proposals are in the spotlight, including new industrial units at “Ewell’s Loo”, a rejected 110 home scheme near Langley Vale due to safety and environmental risks, and early consultation on a proposal for up to 300 homes near East Ewell Station.

Councillors have clashed over transparency on both the future of the Surrey Museum at Bourne Hall and urgent repair decisions regarding the Rainbow Leisure Centre, raising questions about governance within Epsom & Ewell Borough Council. National and local issues also feature, including renewed efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour, a four-year reflection on the community’s support for Ukraine led by Surrey Stands With Ukraine, and Primark’s imminent opening in Epsom’s Ashley Centre. Additionally, a new member has been appointed to the General Medical Council from the local hospital trust, and several human interest and local heritage stories round out the bulletin.
