Welcome to December
’tis the season to be jolly!! How can that be? I feel like this year has simply flown by, faster than ever. In my mind it’s about March! I decided last year, that I would get all my Christmas shopping done by 1st December this year, needless to say, that didn’t happen! And thus far, I haven’t actually started! Busy month ahead it seems! The Cobham Chamber of Commerce are hosting another of their ’Super Saturday’s’ this month. This promises to be a fun packed day which will allow all who attend to really get into the Christmas mood! See page 12 for details of the event. If you’re into your local history, there is a lovely new book to add to your Christmas list! The Cobham Heritage Trust have announced the publication of ‘Cobham Remembers’ a nostalgic, poignant and insightful view of Cobham and the surrounding villages during the Great War. See page 20 for details. Wishing you all a wonderfully festive month, we will be back in the new year as we enter our sixteenth year in print!

Cobham Care Have you ever wondered how elderly people living in Cobham who no longer drive get to hospital appointments at Epsom, St. Peter’s or Royal Surrey or even to the Doctors? Cobham Care is a group of volunteers who take people to their appointments. We are short of drivers and many of us are elderly. For the service to continue we really need some more volunteers. All you need is a car, a clean driving licence and comprehensive insurance and a little time.
Could you help?

“When I knew we were going to be resettled in the UK I felt like I could relax for the first time. My daughters would have a future and be safe.” The global refugee crisis is the most significant humanitarian crisis of our generation. More than 65.3 million people are displaced worldwide. Millions of these refugees are Syrian families, forced to flee their homes during 8 years of war. Many end up in refugee camps with little hope for their families’ future. Abdul lived in a refugee camp in Jordan with his family before being resettled to the UK last year. “We had quite a few problems in Jordan,” he explains. “It was hard to have a life there.” He came to the UK with his wife and three daughters (aged 7, 11 and 13) under the Government’s Syrian Vulnerable Person Resettlement scheme (SVPR) and was settled in Elmbridge. “[When we got here] it immediately felt safe, quiet and peaceful. Our neighbours are very kind, and people have been good to us.” Elmbridge CAN is a local charity working with the Council to resettle refugee families in the community. We help find properties. We furnish homes and we provide ongoing support to the families through our incredible team of volunteers. “When we moved in we needed furniture and [Elmbridge CAN] supported us with this,” says Abdul. “They showed me how to sign up for English

lessons too – although my youngest daughter is fluent now and corrects me all the time! I can definitely say I have friends in Elmbridge CAN now.” Together we’ve supported six families under this scheme and we’re hoping to welcome nine more over the next year. But to do this we need to find suitable homes to rent. “The people the SVPR scheme helps are in a desperate situation,” explains Alex, a local landlord who’s renting a home to one of the families. “This was an opportunity to welcome them into our community here in Molesey and give them some support. We wanted them to feel welcomed.” If you want to help a family like Abdul’s, please visit www.elmbridgecan.org.uk/let-yourproperty to find out how you can support our property appeal. Please note: the names in this story have been changed to protect the identities of the people we support.

VITAL FUNDING TO HELP IMPROVE THE LIVES OF ELMBRIDGE RESIDENTS Play equipment for a town centre, outdoor play and learning space, extension of a hall for community use and a defibrillator - just some of the recent projects awarded funding through Elmbridge’s Community Infrastructure Fund. The Community Infrastructure Fund (CIL) allows Elmbridge Borough Council to raise funds through borough development to help pay for the physical infrastructure needed to mitigate the impacts of new development. The bulk of the money raised goes towards strategic borough wide schemes such as highway schemes, permanent school expansions or flood works. However, as part of the process, the council also allocates a portion of these funds to be spent locally on smaller infrastructure schemes that are required in the communities where development took place. The council has formed area committees known as Local Spending Boards where local Councillors decide on how these local CIL funds will be allocated. In the case of Claygate, the local proportion of CIL funds will be passed directly to the Parish Council. The definition of infrastructure is broad and includes: • roads and other transport infrastructure • flood defences • schools and other educational facilities • medical facilities • sporting and recreational facilities • open spaces Cllr Karen Randolph, Portfolio Holder for Planning Services is a keen advocate of the CIL process and is delighted that local groups have benefitted from the funding: “In this latest round of CIL funding, it was great to see such a diversity of projects being supported by the council. Working in partnership with schools, charities and other non-profit organisations CIL can provide vital funding to help improve the lives of the people of Elmbridge.” A sample of some of the projects supported through the local CIL funding are listed below: • Sunbury and Walton Sea Cadets building for the future • St James Church of England Primary School toilet and cloakroom upgrade • Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary school hall extension • Patient participation group defibrillator • Hinchley Wood Primary School playground upgrade • Chatterbus ticketing machine upgrade “The CIL funding has made such a big difference and we are hugely appreciative of the support given to us. We are now progressing the training centre project, which will provide an important place for young people across the community”, says Mrs Cramp, Chairman, Sunbury and Walton Sea Cadets The next application period for CIL funding, for 2020-2021, is anticipated to open in February 2020, with the boards being held in June and early July 2020.

Book Reviews DECEMBER 2019 ‘Ghost Wall’ by Sarah Moss (Paperback £8.99) In Northumbria a group of students and a Professor are entering, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, into Iron Age life – foraging, hunting, cooking. One person taking things absolutely seriously is Mr Hampton. A local bus driver and amateur historian, he has brought his subdued wife and 17 year old daughter Silvie along for a chance to explore his interests. There are other, darker rituals from the past that he is drawn to. For student Molly, Mr Hampton’s overbearing treatment of his family is cause for concern no matter how hard Silvie tries to keep the peace. The tensions between fear and freedom, submission and the hope of escape, are skilfully drawn by Sarah Moss. Her short, sensuously written and utterly thrilling novel will keep you gripped.
‘Festive Spirits: Three Christmas Stories’ by Kate Atkinson (Hardback £6.99) Kate Atkinson is one of our staff and customers’ best-loved authors. This little volume is the ideal stocking-filler for those seeking a blend of festive feeling and excellent writing. Don’t forget to put a copy on your own Christmas list.
‘A Boy & His Dog at the End of the World’ by C. A. Fletcher (Paperback £8.99) This is a wonderful novel about a beloved stolen dog Jess, and her owner Griz’s quest to rescue her. But it is more than that. Griz is a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world. The rescue attempt takes Griz and his faithful terrier Jip from their remote island onto the mainland, where human life has been wiped out. Griz’s determination and hope forms the heart of this moving quest.

Gardening Matters DESIGNING A GARDEN
And here we are again in winter. Let’s think about design, food for thought in the cold months ahead when little can be done in the actual garden… When designing a garden, try to work in squares, rectangles, circles and triangles, remembering that structures such as sheds are solid shapes. There are several points to bear in mind: Firstly, try to keep things simple to avoid going potty. You need simplicity if you’re to have a restful garden, so keep the lines clean and clear. Secondly, try to unite the house with the garden. Different areas need to link up, so consider your materials and choose those which complement each other: eg if your house is red brick, a low wall of black or grey brick may scream at you every time you look at it. Also, contrast plants so that they stand out against each other: you can put almost any colours together outside. You can also use colours to create an effect: eg strong, hot colours shorten a garden and make a bold statement, whereas pastels/whites/blues do the opposite – the further away you go, the paler and lighter the colours should be so as to extend the garden. Balance is easier to achieve in a formal symmetrical garden, where 1 side of the garden is a mirror image of the other. Asymmetrical is more interesting, but you still need to balance it: eg have heavy beds opposite each other so that 1 side doesn’t seem top-heavy. To achieve

scale and proportion with a large house, you need tall trees, bold foliage and substantial garden furniture. With a cottage, however, you need open, airy, shorter trees, soft flowers, more texture, and concealed tables and chairs. Interest is a personal thing. A focal point - a statue/ tree/structure - is essential, as it creates mood, theme and purpose. You can also achieve a mood with the use of pattern: yews or a dense hedge make the mood sombre; light planting, producing dappled shade, lifts the atmosphere. Foliage can be an additional point of interest, especially in winter, and there are an enormous number of colours/variegated varieties/foliage with texture and shape - eg verbascum which has a hairy leaf - plus plants with bold shapes - tall grasses/yuccas/ phormium - or bold leaves - fatsia japonica (hardy evergreen which is happy in shade) and herbs such as angelica (perennial) and fennel (copper colours). Finally, performance. Consider the amount of time something will take to maintain. Of course, if you want to make your garden your life’s work, you may prefer to create a miniature Wisley, but for you hard-pressed, time-poor gardeners, complicated = LOADS of work, and gardens take enough work to maintain as it is. So, Happy Christmas to you all, and get out there to work off the Christmas pud. You know it makes sense.

Goodbye Windows 7 On January 14th 2020 Microsoft will officially end extended support of Windows 7. Yes in a matter of days Windows 7 will not receive any software support or updates. But what does this actually mean for you? In very simple terms it means that your Windows 7 device will become less and less useful if you use the device for any internet connected activity. For example if you use the machine for online banking, your bank will stop you gaining access to your online accounts, as they view your computer as being a security risk to their systems. Bit by bit this will become widespread and most online shopping systems will block your ability to carry out transactions with them for the same reason. We are not saying your machine will suddenly stop working on the 14 January. Your files and photos will still be accessible, the machine will power on as before, but you will be at greater risk to security breaches, and your ability to communicate and collaborate with others will be much reduced. What can you do about this? 1: Upgrade the software on your machine to Windows 10 (the worlds most used operating system). This does carry a cost of ÂŁ130 for the software alone, and your machine may not be designed to work efficiently with Windows 10 Or 2: Replace your computer with a new Windows 10 machine. With costs as low as ÂŁ250 for new machines this is probably the most economical route and you get a brand new, up to date machine, with a full warranty. We can transfer all your data from the old to the new machine and ensure the new machine is ready for the years ahead, with minimal disruption for you Beat the rush - act now

LEXUS RX CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
It is big in Japan, a top seller in America and it is looking all set to monopolise the fiercely competitive UK market for luxurious and large SUVs. That’s the refurbed, refreshed and reliable Lexus RX; It is a promisingly successful blend of petrol and electric for efficiency and reasonable fuel economy and all achieved in the utmost comfort. Okay, it may be relatively pricey, but for anybody with a few quid to spare and a requirement to enjoy miles of luxurious accompaniment, the RX fits the bill. Lexus, launched by Japanese car moguls Toyota 30-odd years ago and in its fifth generation, is right now, a niche player in the UK market, battling with the respectable likes of the Audi Q7, the Volvo XC90 and the Range Rover Sport, all dominant forces to be reckoned with. Since its arrival on the UK scene in 1990 more than 200,000 RX’s have hit the British market, 16,000 this year - and they aim on its upcoming re-launch early next year to smash their own record. I can see it happening. Such is the obvious care taken by the astute brains behind the scenes and the evidential fine result for their effort. They tell me that since its original launch in 1998, the revolutionary Lexus RX SUV has sold more than three million models. And I’d bet there’s not been one complaint... So what is it like? According to which of its three trim levels you fancy, the RX, F Sport or Takumi, the flexible five or slightly longer seven seater is a whizzbang
44 Looklocal Magazine - December 2019
goer, huge and sprawlingly comfortable, responsive and sharp, just what you need either for arduous motorway treks or humpy-bumpy twisty rural lanes. And before you settle on a sale, you can specify halfa-dozen stand-alone spacious “captain’s chairs”..two in each row - offering a really commanding driving and viewing position. Furthermore, the clever clogs in the design and planning areas have come up with a crucial safety trim. It is entitled the BladeScan Adaptive High Beam system which offers 24m of extra vision so you can spot potential hazards without it being a blinder to oncoming drivers. And there’s tons of power from the self-charging hybrid set-up. That comprises a 259bhp 3.5 litre direction injection V6 petrol engine working with a front-andback pair of electric motors that will create a pulling power of 308 bhp. I hope that does not sound too technical. The prices will range from £52,705 up to £62,605.... So....What are the RX’s feedback and performance benefits? The five-seater F-Sport, for instance, will propel you from standstill to a respectable 62mph in around 7.7 seconds, topping out at 124 mph. The seven seater is a wee bit slower. No surprise there. No real disappointment or setback either....You would hardly notice. Those rival SUV front runners had better watch out when this flexible new boy joins the fray.
