Idle chit chat about Surbiton

Valley Close, Glenbuck Road

8 years ago...

Hi,

how safe and quiet is Glenbuck Road? - very close to Surbiton station. I'm a single woman mid30s looking to move into a rental flat in Valley Place, Glenbuck Road.

Is it safe to walk back home at night from the station? Looks like there are are some stories on the Internet regarding the adjacent building, Glenbuck Court.

Thank you.

Looking for historical info about Electric Parade

8 years ago...

I'm trying to find out more about my great-great-uncle William Anthony Mathew who lived in Surbiton. He owned a fashion store called (The) Paris House, 1-2 Electric Parade, Brighton Road in the early 1900s along with his wife Mary Kate and his brother Edward. I believe this is now numbers 27-28ish, Brighton Road. William died in 1905 at the age of 42. According to family folklore he committed suicide after the store was destroyed by fire. I've found record of Paris House and record of his death, but I can't find anything about this apparent fire or the cause of his death.

Not the girl who sells the Big Issue. An old woman sits at the bus stop with her hand to her mouth begging. Is this illegal? Why is nothing done?

Why is it the drivers of Surbiton are incapable of turning corners with out banking the pavement? Why is it I've just been nearly hit by a driver pulling up behind another driver who's waiting to turn, but instead of stopping or slowing, he's almost pinned me against the car in front? Why did 3 cars race through the red lights whilst I was crossing at the junction if maple road and brighton rd, whilst I was halfway across with my child? Why are you all speeding towards pedestrians on residential streets?

Re: I'm looking to take RBK to court over misleading signage onSurbiton Crescent

8 years ago...

There has been a hugely negative reaction to the new traffic scheme on Surbiton Crescent.
I for one received 5 PCN's for driving through the 'except for access' section my reasoning being that I needed access. I have had 4 withdrawn on appeal and still arguing about the 5th but i will refuse to pay it.
The ambiguous and misleading signage has now led to over 22,000 PCN's between 14th Sept and 1st Jan and still counting.
