Another Successful Walton Heritage Day

raab

On Saturday, I attended another successful Walton Heritage Day organised by Walton on Thames Trading Alliance (WoTTA). WoTTA do a great job running local community events throughout the year to promote Walton-on-Thames. This year’s Heritage Day was no different and was packed with things for all ages to enjoy.

The fair on Bridge Street was full of stalls from local businesses and charities. It was also great to see the Walton Sea Cadets march. Events continued all day right across Walton, including a dog show, a tow truck competition, boat trips along the Thames run by Sunbury and Walton Sea Cadets​ and a duckathon.

Many thanks to Alan Palmer and the WoTTA team bringing together a great day.

Launch of “Your Fund Surrey”

I was very encouraged to hear that, last month, Surrey County Council (SCC) launched a new fund to support projects which will improve local communities.
