It’s such a pleasure for me to work with residents on community issues (and sometimes problems and concerns). We are all in this together and I’ll do my best to keep you informed about Runnymede Borough news and the surrounding areas. This issue is packed with information of what is happening in the Borough and lots for you to take in so put down your smartphone, grab a lounge chair and get tuned into the community around you.
Sadly, The Egham Royal Show and the Chertsey Agricultural Show had to make the difficult decision to cancel for 2021. We are still in a level of uncertainly and need to be vigilant a while longer until Covid and its variants is a bit more under control. The organisers are looking forward to putting on great shows next year on these events.
We will also have Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee to look forward too where some festivities are being planned in Runnymede. Hopefully, in the next few months, we will be able to get back to normality and get on with living.
There are still many events happening including the Black Cherry Fair and the Magna Carta day. Please check the events calendar for an update.
It’s great to see a new phone shop, The Phone Surgery open on the High St.
I had the honour of being interviewed by Toby Athersuch, presenter on Runn Radio regarding the launch of the magazines who are nearly 1 year old. He asked what song describes Chertsey and no doubt it’s ‘We are the Champions’, by Queen.
Take the time to visit the new Literary Institute on Egham High St that has just opened. Reading is very important part of our lives along with being a cultural community hub.
Please do remember to be vigilant and wear a mask when appropriate.
Yours faithfully,
