Does Anyone Recognise this Cat?
Two days ago this very handsome looking cat took up residence at St. Mary's parish church, Sunbury.
Attempts to contact the owner by calling the phone number on its collar have been unsuccessful.
Do you recognise the cat and can you help find its owner? If so, please get in touch.

Trembling Wilburys Come to Sunbury Cricket Club, 19th June
The next Music Night is on Friday 19th June, when the Club welcomes for the first time The Trembling Wilburys. The Club doesn't normally feature tribute bands, but this one is very different, because within their seven-piece line-up they have the talent to perform not just the repertoire of the Travelling Wilburys, but also that of the five legendary stars who came together to form what was a unique blend of styles.
The evening will provide a veritable cavalcade of rock cameos, as alongside the Travelling Wilburys’ material, they do Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne songs as well. The band includes Dzal Martin on guitar, originally with No Dice and now also with Terry Reid and The Equals, as well as the uncanny George Harrison persona of Glen Knowler, and Dave Collison recapturing Roy Orbison in startling fashion. They’ve been doing some high-profile gigs around the country and in Europe. Full information may be found at www.tremblingwilburys.co.uk
Irrigation Reservoir Under Construction at Vicarage Farm
A number of local residents have reported to our Association that an irrigation reservoir is under construction at Vicarage Farm, Halliford Road, and which is in clear view from School Walk. It is indeed a very substantial development of the farmland.
Local authority planning consent is required for most reservoirs except those for 'minor agricultural developments' provided for under the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 but this development which cannot be described as 'minor' was in fact the subject of a planning application (14/00779/PDA) and was approved without any objections having been received prior to the commencement of works. The Local Planning Authority advised LOSRA that letters were sent to residents nearby at the time the application was made.

Surrey County Council Warns of Road Closures During Magna Carta Commemorations
LOSRA has received the following email from Surrey County Council and it is reproduced here for the information of residents:
Later this month, Surrey will be at the heart of historic celebrations to mark 800 years of Magna Carta. A national commemoration event, attended by HM the Queen and other dignitaries from the UK and throughout the world, will be held at Runnymede Meadows on Monday 15 June – exactly 800 years after the Magna Carta was sealed in the same location.
How will roads be affected by the event on Monday 15 June?
In the lead up to and on the day of the event there are planned closures on the A308 Windsor Road. Diversions will be in place, but the roads will be very busy so we are encouraging residents to plan ahead to try and avoid the area, especially during the morning of Monday 15 June. From 1am on Monday 15 June there will also be parking restrictions in place on a small number of roads in Egham, Englefield Green and Old Windsor.
Can residents attend the event?
For safety and security reasons the event is invitation only, but there will be large TV screens on the meadow near the National Trust lodges at Runnymede where residents are welcome to watch the ceremony. Please bear in mind that the usual access routes will be extremely restricted throughout the day on Monday 15 June, and that the National Trust car parks at Runnymede and the nearby Runnymede Pleasure Grounds car park will be closed. The easiest way to get to the site will be to use local footpaths, which will remain open.
Thank you for your support in keeping residents informed about the planned road closures, and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at all. For more information please visit surreycc.gov.uk/magnacarta, or follow @SurreyTravel on Twitter for live travel updates on the day of the event.
Kind regards,
The Magna Carta team
Surrey County Council

Hawkedale Infants School Public Meeting,17th June
Residents in Stratton Road and adjacent streets have expressed concern about the intended expansion from 90 to 210 pupils at Hawkedale School. Whilst it is recognised that existing school capacities are not going to meet the needs of increasing populations especially in the south east, there is anxiety over the adverse impact on traffic and parking in these quiet residential roads.
To answer these concerns, a public meeting will be held at Hawkedale Infants School on Wednesday 17th June at 7pm. All local residents and other interested parties are welcome.
