In Issue 2442, we hear about the pitiful state of parts of 90-year-old St. Heliers hospital and Helen Maguire’s request for more urgent funding at PMQs. The Borough of Epsom and Ewell will also be 90 next year and councillors are gathering photographs and memories from residents to mark the end of this historic chapter before the creation of East Surrey Council. The government are at long last tackling rogue shops laundering money on our high streets with a BBC report of an operation in Surrey.

As an acknowledgement of Remembrance this week, we hear about a new memorial to six ex-Glyn boys who lost their lives in World War II.

Other items in the news include a 78-year-old Epsom runner’s 100th marathon to support Ukraine this winter, the expansion of the Laines Academy in Epsom to new premises by Rosebery Park and the complete refurbishment of Bourne Hall Lodge next to the Dog Gate in Ewell village for much needed social housing. Meanwhile experts are puzzled by the lack of water in Carshalton Ponds – they can’t find the leaks!

Christmas is coming and we hear about the incredibly generous spirit of the Sound Lounge in Sutton which is offering free Christmas dinners on Christmas Day to those who might not otherwise be able to celebrate.
