We must stay alert. We must continue to control the virus and save lives.

Huge thanks to all the local support groups who are doing so much to help residents through this difficult period during the Coronavirus lockdown.

Stay at home

You must stay at home, only leaving for the following very limited purposes:

O is for Oldest Bridge... The Clattern Bridge build around 1175 is one of the oldest intact bridges in England. 

Crossing the Hogsmill River, it is named after the clattering horses' hooves as they crossed the bridge.

I would like to thank everyone in Chessington, Kingston and Surbiton who supported me in the general election.

Today Aphra visited local charity Challengers who run one of their play schemes at Bedelsford School in Kingston. The Kingston Playscheme is for disabled and non-disabled children aged 4-12.

Together with Paul Scully MP and Chair of the APPG for Tamils, Aphra Brandreth attended the Sri Raja Rajeswary Amman Temple in Stoneleigh.

Aphra says "I was delighted to visit the Temple and to observe the 'Pooja', as well as to talk with local residents. It was a real joy to visit."

Aphra Brandreth signs an open letter urging the next government to prioritise Crossrail 2.

N is for Nipper - the famous Fox Terrier/Jack Russel cross from the HMV ads. 

The famous dog has Nipper Alley in Kingston named after him, just round the corner from his final resting place.
