LATEST NEWS

  1. COBHAM FREE SCHOOLS

    Two separate groups propose opening Free Schools in Cobham.  Approval has been given to negotiate the sale of Cobham Police Station and section house to the organisation that finds suitable premises for Free Schools, so this may be the site for one.  See the NEWS section of this site for more details.

  2. 408 BUS ROUTE

    The 408 bus service is under review. One option is to reduce the frequency of the Cobham to Leatherhead part of the service, which is 2-hourly. The CDRA has contacted the bus company & Surrey County Council to find out more & to highlight the detrimental effects.  We are pursuing this with the Council.  The 408 a vital link from Cobham to Epsom Hospital.  www.surreycc.gov.uk/busreview.

  3. 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.
