Firstly, I wanted to reassure you that the consultation is not specifically about Epsom and Ewell. Heathrow is carrying the consultation out across a large swathe of the London area so that people are aware that they want to make changes to their flightpath arrangements.
This is not a Government consultation, and indeed we have received […]
The NHS is continuing to look at the future of both Epsom and St Helier Hospitals, though it is a long way away from taking any definitive decisions. The Trust is continuing to push for the construction of a new hospital at Sutton, though if there is to be a new hospital built to replace […]
