URGENT UPDATE FROM SATEP - News
So Sita and SCC have finally put out a revised newsletter, 2 years after the last reall update. It would seem the distribution has been somewhat lax once again as the facebook page seems to be getting reports on not getting the Newsletter delivered. If you have not seen it, it can be found online here
SCC/ Sita June'13 Newsletter
IMPORTANT - Included in the newsletter is a return postcard - please complete this to receive future updates, otherwise Sita will claim they have tried to advise the public, but have not received responses, and stop communicating all together.

Lost in Shepperton?
- Published April 24th, 2013
Hi, this is an email out of desperation. I left my bag onthe 7.12pm on Friday the 19th April. I met a friend at Earlsfield and knew immediately that I'd left my bag on the train as it trundled along the tracks.
I immediately told the man at the station about my plight and he said that there was nothing he could do about it and gave me a lost property card. I waited until the 'Lost property' came back from Shepperton (Tuesdays and Fridays) to London Waterloo but nothing has come back to date.
I'm hoping that somebody took the bag and were then disgusted by my used gym kit, nicked the Sony MP3 player and threw the bag away. The bag also contained a large memory device. I was wondering whether you could ask your readers if any of them noticed a rather battered looking 'Passport' memory device.
As it contains a lot of my work on it and getting it back would save me an awful lot of hassle and inconvenience.
Many thanks in advance

Note: This article refers to 2011 - Big tree night 2012 is on Wednesday 12th December 2012When Shepperton and District Business Community started to put together this year’s Big Tree Night, they were particularly keen that the evening would contain something for everyone. Six month’s later, the programme for the evening looks to have done just that.
The evening on the 14th December begins at 4.00pm with Christmas Storytime at the library for children aged up to 5. The hour will include reading of Christmas stories and some singing. Also, from 4.00pm, stalls will be open in the slip roads in the High Street. At the time of writing, 22 stalls had booked, ranging from food stalls to charities and reindeer food to local businesses. There will also be a few small fairground rides for younger children. Stalls will remain open until 8.30pm.
I received this from a Shepperton resident regarding the proposed Eco Park which raises many excellent points.
The proposed Eco Park is relevant to everybody who lives in and around the Shepperton area and I urge you to read it.

Dear Shepperton Residents.
I am writing you thinking you might help me find information about some relatives (my grandmother's sister and her husband) that used to live in Shepperton.
Their names were: Maren Mathews, born in Norway 1891, died in Shepperton 9 January 1978, and William Henry Mathews, born 1893 and died 28 April 1978.

County Council has prepared extensively for winter in the event the
county experiences the poor weather conditions seen last year.
The council’s winter fleet has been extended to provide greater mobility and coverage. Adding to last year’s efforts, 50 farmers will support the Highways team, alongside Surrey’s 4x4 group and a further ten snow ploughs. These will help the council clear and maintain Surrey's main routes during winter.
Additionally, forty tonnes of grit is being given to district and borough councils to spread in town centres this year – more than double the amount provided last year.
