Riverpath Repairs begin 21st May 2012
Essential repair work will begin shortly on the vital pathway running alongside the river between the old fire station and Cobham Mill. This path is very uneven and after rain becomes a collection of puddles as can be seen in the photograph. A new all-weather surface will replace the 300 meter stretch of existing worn out pathway. The repair work is part of the CCHT’s ambitious Riverhill Regeneration Project
The hardwearing surface will benefit the community all year round by linking Cobham’s town centre to Stoke D’Abernon, making this indispensable footpath more accessible to all.

There is a major Planning Application for a Gasification Plant (Waste Incinerator) to be built on Green Belt land on the outskirts of Cobham. The site is located in Redhill Road alongside Silvermere and the A3. This plant could have a major impact over a wide area.
The CCHT has written to Surrey County Council and Elmbridge Borough Council to object and we would urge local residents to also consider expressing their objection.
Our main objections are:-
- The site was not suggested or considered for inclusion when the Surrey Waste Management Plan was being considered and there are other more appropriate sites which should be looked at first.
- The plant is not suitable for siting in this Green Belt area where it would be totally out of sympathy with the character of the area.
- It would create unacceptable traffic on the already very busy Byfleet Road.
Surrey County Council are the applicants and have submitted two planning application 2012/0423 and 2012/0522. The Surrey County Council reference is EL12/0423 and EL12/522.

We would also like to apologise for the misspelling of Mr Dominic Combe's name, it should of course be spelt Combe not Coombe.
Cobham Farmers Market Returns
The Cobham Farmers' Market returns to Cobham after a seven month absence.
The Farmers's Market will return in a new location on Saturday 28th April 2012 at 9:30am. The market has moved to the more central location of Hollyhedge Road which is located between the Downside Bridge Road car park and the High Street.
Both new and old traders will be there as well as involvement from local shops.
It is hoped that the more central location and hardstanding will encourage local residents to buy local produce provided by local traders.
The market will be open from 9:30am to 2pm on the fourth Saturday of every month.
