SATURDAY NIGHT: Blues People – A Celebration of the music & the people who make it

A NEW beer delivery service bringing cans to customers in under 15 minutes is being trialled in Teddington this week.

Craft beer giant Brewdog has partnered with grocery delivery start-up Jiffy, which has a base on Teddington's Princes Road, to launch the service 'Brewdog Express.'

HAMPTON Green will be getting more police patrols after the field was left damage by the tyre tracks of joyriders.

Delegates from arms manufacturers around the world are set to show off their military hardware over the next four days.

ROB Palmer is the music-loving man behind Teddington's new record shop Roan Records.

The shop on Church Road has become something of a celebrity hotspot and is also the local centre of the worldwide Vinyl revival - a massive resurgence of interest in the formerly 'old-fashioned' records, with Abba and Adele topping the charts for purchases at the shop.

CYCLING campaigners in Richmond borough believe changes to the Highway Code this week will make 'a real difference' to improving safety.

The changes create a new hierarchy for people on the road to ensure the most vulnerable are offered more space and protection.

A LANE on Hampton Court Bridge is now closed to cars, cyclists and pedestrians so that anti-terror bollards and a raised kerb can be installed.

The left-most lane taking traffic from East Molesey to Hampton Court had barriers placed around it today (24 January) as work began on the safety measures.

A NEW world record for rowing the Atlantic as a female trio was set last night by three women with links to Hampton and Teddington.

The girls, competing as 'Team Extraoardinary,' in the Talisker Atlantic whisky challenge rowed from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean in just 42 days - beating the former world record by a week.
