Not many small towns can boast their own independent bookshop these days. But in Surbiton we're lucky to have The Regency Bookshop on Victoria Road. OK, it can't compete with the likes of Borders or Waterstones in terms of stock, but the owners are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and can order most books for next day collection. Many's the time I've spent the odd hour browsing the shelves only to find just the book I was looking for; sometimes less is more. I have no connection with the shop what's so ever, but I'd urge locals to use the shop as much as possible.

The removal of squatters from Ravens Ait
JAZZYJEFF
I have heard from Ed Davey MP that there is a plan in place to remove the squatters from Ravens Ait and bring some normality back to the area. More details will follow but I do know there is a grassroots desire by locals to rid our town of these people! Great news!
Rose Theatre - what a disappointing experience
upward
Took my son to the Rose Theatre for the first time this week. What a disappointing experience.
Not the production that is. Othello which was really enjoyable, but the actual ambience of the theatre.
Going into the cafe area which was advertised as being a community space with homemade cakes and locally sourced produce, all we found were a few chairs and stools to sit on line against a wall with no tables at which to sit. When the space filled up with theatre goers before the performance, it was so loud any conversation was impossible.
