Wednesday 11th March is No Smoking Day.

Organised by the British Heart Foundation, the day aims to promote advice and services available to help people quit the habit.

West Sussex County Council is reminding people of the benefits of not smoking; not just health related but financial.

They estimate the average smoker would save more than £150 a month and almost £2,000 a year.

Over the last three years in West Sussex 12 people have lost their lives in accidental house fires; seven of those were as a result of smoking.

A new dedicated diabetes centre in Earlswood is opening it’s doors for people to meet the specialist staff and find out about the help available.

On March 18th visitors are welcome to tour the centre and speak with staff about the dedicated hub for diabetes care.

Doors open between 10am and 1.30pm.

A number of windows have been damaged in Tandridge.

Vehicle and property windows have been smashed in several areas including Godstone, South Nutfield, Bletchingley, Merstham, and Redhill.

Those incidents all occurred Sunday evening.

An investigation is underway and anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey Police on 101.

A vehicle containing items thought to be connected to recent burglaries in East Surrey was found at the scene of a collision.

A Sledgehammer, pick-axe, ladders and screwdrivers were discovered in a grey BMW which had collided with a fence on Holmthorpe Avenue in Redhill Saturday evening.

Detectives were initially called to Redstone Hill around half-past six after receiving information that a person was acting suspiciously in the rear garden of a property.  When police arrived, a vehicle was seen driving away.

A number of reports then came in from members of the public concerned with erratic driving.  Police then arrived at the scene of the collision.  The occupants had left the vehicle.

A milestone has been reached by Surrey Search and Rescue.

The Surrey-based charity responded to their 300th call after forming just over four years ago.

The team now have close to 90 volunteers who are on standby to assist with incidents whenever called – night or day.

Their 300th call was to help search for a vulnerable person.
