Work preparing for a new access road into Crawley’s Tilgate Park is set to start next week.
Plans to create new visitor access from the K2 Crawley junction into Tilgate Park (off the A23), were agreed recently and work to fell trees will start on Monday.
172 trees will need to be felled to make space for works but at least the same number of trees will be planted in the park when work is completed next year.
The improvements will see the existing emergency access road widened to allow two-way traffic flow and 30 new spaces added to the main car park.
A man’s been charged following several burglaries in Tadworth targeting elderly women.
Daniel Bailey Rogers, of no fixed address, was charged with two burglary dwellings and one attempted burglary.
The incidents include:
Monday, 1 September – a handbag containing a gold wedding ring was stolen from the home of a woman in her 80s.
Thursday, 4 September – a man attempted to gain access to a property of a woman in her 80s but was confronted by the homeowner and left the scene empty handed.
Tuesday, 9 September – a number of medals were stolen from the home of a woman in her 90s.
Most of the stolen items have been recovered and will be returned to their rightful owner.
The man has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Guildford Crown Court on Friday, 26 September.

East Grinstead’s Mayor, Councillor Nick Hodge and East Grinstead and District Lions President Brian Richens attended Synergy Sports Academy’s training session last Saturday (13th September)
Mr Richens presented Zara Munday, National Bronze medalist (15 – 16 years) a cheque for £250 to go towards much needed new club equipment. And yes this is our own Neil Munday’s talented daughter.
The Mayor was then challenged by club members to “have a go” on the trampoline. The challenge was accepted and the Mayor along with his daughter had a go followed by the Lions president.
All successfully completed some basic moves to a huge round of applause!
Synergy Sports Academy is a competitive trampoline & double mini trampolining club, that train at Kings Leisure Centre, East Grinstead.
