Six schemes in Surrey have been awarded money to ensure they continue to provide a long-term benefit to their communities.

Surrey leader David Hodge set up a Community Improvements Fund three years ago and this latest group of community projects have received over £150,000 between them.

The successful applicants include Old Reigations Rugby Trust which has received £20,000 to assist in the creation of new rugby pitches, and Tandridge Leisure Trust has been awarded £30,000 for the refurbishment of the swimming pool.

A horse thought to have been stolen from Tandridge has been found.

3 year-old Tempranillo was believed to have been taken overnight Tuesday 8th into Wednesday 9th December.

The horse has been found alive in a ditch nearby although it requires veterinary care.

Police are no longer treating this incident as an act of theft.

A robber who targeted banks in Reigate and Guildford has been handed a prison sentence.

Paul Williams was known as the ‘straw hat man’ because of clothing worn during the first robbery.  It was this description which brought forward a number of witnesses.

Williams pleaded guilty to the robbery of Lloyds Bank in Reigate High Street and attempted robbery of Lloyds Bank in Merrow earlier this year.

He was sentenced on Monday to 34 months behind bars.
