I have lived in Surbiton for the last three years and love it!
I am concerned however that this fantastic forum (Surbiton.com) is not being used to its full advantage.
Surbiton is in danger of being swallowed up and ending up as just a convienient place to live as opposed to being an engaged vibrant mixed community.
We sould be using this web site to promote and inform so why are we not doing it?

Has anyone got any news on what happened at Victoria Park over the weekend? Apparently there was a serious assault.
The park is directly opposite where we live and where my children play. I'm sure we'll hear shortly through official channels but I just wondered if there's a latest scoop.

Is it just me?

There seeems to have been a steady decline in the general standard of life in Surbiton over the last 24 months in my opinion.

I purchased a Rolex watch in the USA with an inscription
on the back to a women who lived in Surbiton. I would
love to know the origin of this watch as it is quite an
interesting piece. If anyone can help I would be most
appreciative.

Well - what do people think - is this going to be a monstrous carbuncle on the face of an old friend or what ?

Did anyone want this? I'm totally fed up with the council, they seem to think they have unlimited rights to squeeze money out of residents, to spend on stupid schemes. Consider the barriers along Maple road; what are they for? They must have cost tens of thousands, and serve pretty much no purpose. Or the conservation area signs at the end of each and every road, which really are completely useless, and cost tens of thousands each.

The new scheme has reduced the number of parking spaces, and introduced yet another tax on residents. Neither of these where mentioned in the public meeting.

I know we are a small group but no one has sent a message for over three months!

I shall be visiting the old home town on Saturday and hope to meet a friend for a drink and chat in the Surbiton Club in St James's Road.
Did you know the Cottage Hospital in the same road has been redeveloped into apartments and houses. They had to build them to look like the Victorian houses opposite.

Wishing you all the best
