A message from Emma Green of Tower Hill: I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who sponsored me on a 4 mile walk on Sunday 26 September to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes. My 5 year old son, Nathan, who is a pupil at St Paul’s School, was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes last year. I did the walk and raised a staggering £1,662.60 for the fund, only with help from sponsors at the school and door-to-door. Again, thank you everyone who supported me in this worthy cause.

Many residents will already have heard the sad news that David Bathurst of Scatterdells Lane died on 1 October. David was the husband of Wendy, who contributes a monthly article to Chipperfield News. We extend our very sincere sympathy to Wendy and John and all the family.
