Hello, I am thinking of moving to Surbiton with my family and have seen a house in Victoria Avenue. I have seen some negative comments on this site regarding this street and was hoping for an up to date opinion as with young children would like to feel safe! Many thanks for your time.

Any one else living in Surbiton having trouble with their Digital TV reception since the bad weather yesterday? Doesn't look like a problem with my aerial so thought I'd see if it was a common problem.

I saw some prediction about a Subway opening in Surbiton some time ago.

It now appears that they are moving into the shop on Claremont Road recently vacated by Oriental Cuisine.

I am hoping it won't be open too late at night, as it could add to the increasing problems with chavs congregating in that area as they visit Village Pizza and Corky's.

I noticed a few weeks ago that three large 1920s houses on Maple Road had been sold for 'development'. There was no movement for a while, so I assumed that the developer had thought better of the original plan to build 21 flats on the site given the current economic downturn.

Over the weekend, I noticed that they had started to remove the roof tiles from the houses.

Hi there.

I've just Recently moved in to a flat in Surbiton. It needs a few odd jobs doing here and there. i was wondering if any could recommend a good handy man.

cheers
Tony

I was walking down Maple Road tonight when I was approached by a well dressed, middle aged man.

I thought he was going to ask for directions, but as soon as he spoke I knew his game - 'Have you got a jack?' he asked. I was on foot, walking home with an Indian takeaway, so it was hardly likely.

When I said I did not have one, he said that his car had broken down there (pointed to The Mall) and asked for 90p to get the bus.

Recently we've had a few requests to help make the comments easier to navigate. So as an experiment we've decided to reverse the ordering of comments, meaning that the newest comments will now appear at the top. This has the added benefit that e-mail notifications will now open the web page at the correct position.

For those who preferred the old ordering (or those who like to tinker), we've added some new options at the bottom of the comments that allows you to configure them to your own preference.

I have 2 FREE tickets to watch the filming of GREEN GREEN GRASS being filmed at Teddington Studios (The old Thames TV studios) on Friday 22/8 up for grabs

We’ve already seen one of these filmings a months ago at Teddington and thoroughly enjoyed it

You simple turn up at the studio between 18:30 - 19:00 on Friday 22nd August 2008 and your given a quick history of the show (its a spin off from 'Only Fools and Horses') with 2 of the original artists (remember the Pub Manager and his wife Darleen) (John Challis and Sue Holderness) and it will be screened on TV this Autumn

Two burglaries in Lovelace Gardens in just 2 weeks due to YMCA filth

A defenceless, elderly lady in a ground floor flat broken into and life-long gifts and things stolen and a garage broken into and contents missing

The content of the YMCA are filth

God will not forget this rubbish for their deeds

How easy is it to get on the housing ladder in Surbiton?

Say you arrived, got a job on £21K a year and got a bedsit.

Could you have much hope of getting a flat?

Can you keep pets in bedsits? Do they have a garden?

Surbiton is been attacked by flocks of pigeons!!!
If you walk under the railway bride near the YMCA beware ... you are likely to be hit by pigeon poo.
I have asked the council to sort this out but they are not interested
This must be a health hazard!! There is also a rather strange man walking up the high street at 5.30am feeding the vermin...
