Ockham Road North

A burglar has accessed a rear garden and then with a tool like a jemmy has forced his way into an out building and stolen an electric saw. This victim now recalls hearing a neighbour’s burglar alarm activate during the night.

There is a great deal of talk in and around the Horsleys about the condition of the roads and road works. Surrey Highways report that they are inundated with surface water issues throughout the county. Their website is the most effective way of keeping up to date.

Forest Road will not be used as a diversion from the A3/M25. Traffic will be directed to Jct 9 at Leatherhead, along the A246 and through Clandon A247. The work will be night till the early hours of the morning.

The Forest Road closure near Surrey Gardens is due to a collapsed drain some four metres below the road surface. Repairs are estimated to take at least three weeks, maybe four.

As reported in the recent 'In The Know".
