Young man, there's no need to throw stuff out the window

Good news wanted

The Surbiton.com news feed is turning into a list of local crime. There's good news out there, it's just not reported so much in the local papers.

The fact is our news articles are taken from stories published on the internet and most news sites prefer headline-grabbing crime stories, which gives visitors to this site a very unbalanced image of Surbiton.

In view of this we're asking users to make more use of our Submit News feature to post their own articles about local events and news happening in the neighbourhood.

While we're on the subject, Surbiton has a very high-ranking hockey team, and the Berrylands Lawn Tennis Championship is world-renowned. In light of this Surbiton.com would like to enlist the assistance of a sports writer. If you're interested in donating a couple of hours, please use the Feedback link to get in contact with us.

Surbiton station among the most crime-ridden in London!!

19 years ago...

Surbiton station is infested with criminal scum making life hell for commuters! South West Trains as expected dont give a sh*t!

You can make a difference by contacting Alison Reynolds the station manager and demanding she tightens security with more guards on platforms and more cctv cameras.

Phone : 0870 0005 151, ext 62755

Or why not call our local MP Ed Davey and tell him to do something. Phone: 020-8288 0161

Security has always been a high priority for Ed as he has worked closely with Simon Hughes MP and Mark Oaten MP and therefore needed to protect his behind.

:twisted:
