An official notice was due to be published on January 7th stating that the footpath including the footbridge connecting Blenheim Road and Stones Road was to be closed temporarily for maintenance sometime within the next 6 months. However this has now been deferred until later in the year.
Derek Phillips, councillor for Ruxley Ward, passed away last week in the Princess Alice Hospice, after a long illness.
Epsom's Lib Dem councillors are looking for innovative ways of re-launching Hook Road car park which is chronically underused but now the safest car park in the borough.

Safeguarding, along with provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, was found to be 'inadequate'.
Surrey County Council has approved a potentially very significant resolution proposed by Lib Dem County Councillor Stephen Cooksey (Dorking and the Holmwoods). It was agreed that, unless required to do so by law, Surrey will take no part in preparing for the government's ID Card scheme, it will refuse to participate in the national database and it will establish as Council policy that Identity Cards will not be required to obtain Surrey County Council benefits or services.
