The Cobham Farmers Market is back again on
Saturday 26th June 2021
in Hollyhedge Road between 9:30am and 2:30pm.
An ideal opportunity to get your fresh produce while being outdoors.
Parking available at the main Pay & Display car park off Downside Bridge Road.
With permissible outdoor numbers no longer providing a real restriction on litterpicking, we are able to resume the Cobham Conservation and Heritage Litter Picks in a manner not dissimilar to prior to the Pandemic. Therefore, we are delighted to say they will restart in July 2021.
The first and subsequent litterpicking dates are thus:
• 2 p.m. on Sunday 4 July 2021 on the corner of Downside Common and Downside Road; and then
• 2 p.m. on Sunday 1 August 2021 outside No. 44 Furniture Shop on Portsmouth Road.
This is an important community service, with real environmental as well as social and aesthetic benefits, and we hope as many of you as possible will be able to take part.
As ever, Hi Viz jackets, litter bags and litterpickers will be provided. Please wear appropriate clothing and bring your own gloves as well as the now ubiquitous hand sanitizer.
Thank you so much for your support.

Due to the latest government extension of step 3 COVID restrictions until at least 19th July 2021, the organising committee have reluctantly decided that Cobham Heritage Day 2021 will not go ahead.
Elmbridge Borough Council are currently not able to confirm that we can hire the Leg O’Mutton Field for such an event and suitable insurance is currently not possible. We are not able to plan with these unknowns.
It may be possible to put on some small event on 11th September 2021 if restrictions are lifted but we are unable to confirm anything at this stage.

As our members will know, we have been very concerned at the progress and indeed the approach of Elmbridge BC to the creation of our local plan. Our concern centres around two fundamental issues:
So working with other like minded residents’ associations and civic groups we have issued the two papers (see below) under the banner of “the Alliance of Elmbridge Residents and Civic Groups (AERC)” we are now challenging all political groups in Elmbridge to support these papers. We shall then tackle all the candidates standing in the May elections to obtain their commitment to vote against a local plan that is based on the Government’s Standard Method. After the May elections we shall be similarly challenging all the councillors to reject the Standard Method for Elmbridge.
To our knowledge this is the first time that a significant number of Resident and Civic Groups have come together united over such an important single issue and we commend this to you for your support.
