Issue 2436 includes an article on a University of Surrey trial that could one day banish potholes for good using heat-stored underground, a record-breaking A-level results for students in Epsom and Ewell and Sutton.

We then move on to take a look at sewage spills and blocked drains across the borough, cover the latest figures on what the borough councillors are paid in allowances.

There are further reports of trouble at Carshalton Ponds, a piece on a dispute holding up a new footbridge on Castle Road, Epsom, and we finish up with a roundup of what’s on in the borough.
