Hydrogen Powered Buses Get Underway Across Surrey

A further 34 hydrogen powered buses are set to operate across Surrey.

The buses have a range of up to 600 miles and don’t produce any emissions.

Routes that they will use include Horley, Gatwick airport, Crawley, Redhill, Merstham and Reigate.

The new buses will join a fleet of 20 other hydrogen powered vehicles which were introduced to the area last year.

Surrey County Council has invested £16m in the buses, which are operated by Metrobus and are built in the UK.

New Community Diagnostic Centre Coming to Queen Victoria Hospital

A new Community Diagnostic Centre will be built on the The Queen Victoria Hospital site in East Grinstead. 

A dedicated building will enable the team to have a ‘one stop shop’ for a range of diagnostic pathways, reducing the amount of time patients wait for diagnosis and treatment. 

The Hospital is looking at options to locate the building on its site and will hold an information session from 6-7 pm this evening in the Education Centre to explain further and to answer any questions.

Last month five children, treated by Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (SASH), joined the annual children’s Magical Taxi Tour to Disneyland. 

The children, who were selected for their courage in the face of chronic illnesses, embarked on a three-day journey to Disneyland Paris in a convoy of more than 90 London taxis.  They were escorted by the City of London Police, Gendarmerie Nationale and other emergency services.

The event is organised by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers; it’s now in its 30th year and this is the 7th year that SASH has participated, with the dedicated hospital team ensuring their children’s safety throughout the trip.  All drivers volunteer their time and vehicles.

In the National League South, Dorking Wanderers returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Hornchurch at Meadowbank.

Rogue trader order to pay compensation to victims

£44,400 has been secured by West Sussex County Council’s Trading Standards service as compensation for five victims of a rogue builder, following a Proceeds of Crime hearing at the beginning of September.

32-year-old, Samuel Luke Kwame Noye from Horsham, traded as Direct Property Maintenance and misled five homeowners between the ages of 48 and 78 with substandard and overpriced roofing work.

Lewes Crown Court ruled that Mr Noye must repay the money within three months. The sum is part of proceeds from ill-gotten money he unlawfully obtained from his deceitful business practices.
