News in Teddington

Thirty new affordable homes and a new nursery building will be built in Teddington on a former Council owned site, following approval from the Planning Committee.

Last week (7 October), the Planning Committee agreed to the demolition of existing buildings on the site to be replaced with 30 homes in total (6 x1 bedroom, 17 x 2 bedroom & 7 x 3 bedroom properties); the creation of a new nursery building for the existing nursery service, provision of 36 parking spaces; and environmental improvements including landscaping, communal amenity space and secure cycle storage.

Munira Wilson, MP for Twickenham and Teddington, questioned the Prime Minister on the actions the Government are taking to resolve a technical glitch in the Test and Trace system that is leading to an inflated number of Covid-19 cases registered in Richmond-upon-Thames.

Many university students who have tested positive for Covid-19 are having their testing data registered at their home address rather than their university address. This technical glitch is estimated to have affected about a quarter of new cases in Richmond-upon-Thames.

We're lucky to be right on the doorstep of the most beautiful spot in London, Bushy Park.

One of the main charms of the parks are the deer that roam free through the area.

The weekend is upon us and there is not a better way to unwind after a long week then look at some great pictures of Bushy Park.

Our resident photographer Sue Lindenberg was out again this morning taking these great snaps.
