Cobham Christmas lights turn on – Friday Nov 25

The new Fairmile – thoughts?

Stop your gassing

Whisper it quietly but roadworks don’t always have the best reputation.

Work doesn’t get done every single day that’s all I’m saying.

With Cobham and DownsIde and all who travel through them facing months of misery I propose a simple idea.

Add a comment below or send me a tweet at @cobhamblogger if ever, or whenever, you see the roadworks unattended during work hours.

And please tell me your traffic diversion hell stories as well

Here’s the list of work thanks to a visitor to the Cobham Blogger

Hostages to fortune?

Sorry for the absence over the past few days.

The Cobham Blogger is very pleased that Mark is unharmed after being taken hostage and forced to ransack Gordon Mark jewellers.

Leaving the police investigation aside, what does this horrible incident mean for Cobham?

It must be the first but will it be the last?

Blockade of Cobham ends

The great blockade of western Cobham is over it seems.

After weeks of taking cut throughs over the estate and queuing to get off the A3 the lights are down.

Was it just me or did it seem as if they could have been brought down a bit earlier?
