COBHAM FREE SCHOOLS

It has been confirmed that the Cobham Free School, a primary school, will be set up at the old Cobham Police Station & section house in Portsmouth Road. The proposal is to use temporary classrooms on the site of the demolished section house to start with, subject to planning. The Department of Education has turned down the application for a secondary "free school" in Cobham.
OLYMPIC CYCLING ROAD CLOSURES

Travel in and around Cobham will be affected on 28th & 29th July & especially on 1st August. See our News page for more information.
ALLOTMENTS

The CDRA Environment & Amenities Representative, Ian Clifford, has taken up the cause of increasing the number of local allotments. It looks as though he will be successful and there will be an extra area next to the existing Leg of Mutton allotments.
