Motorists are a step closer to being forced to drive at 20mph on all of Surbiton’s residential streets – barring four main roads – after a consultation into the changes was extended by councillors.

The workshop takes place at the cornerHOUSE from Monday 4th April – Friday 8th April with a performance on the last day at 5.00 pm. This will be a fun week and a slight diversion from KJDC’s usual dramatic repertoire. A great opportunity for those who would like the chance to sing as well as act! The course will be open to anyone who is aged 8 – 15 and will cost only £100 for the whole five days. At the equivalent of £20 a day it will be a bargain. The event is being endorsed by Kingston Arts. Places will be limited.
