Welcome to the 36 Grays Lane guestbook.

Please feel free to express your feelings below, but try to keep it polite!

It seems that the guestbook software is throwing a few glitches. We've had a few reports of random "permanent bannings" and posts disappearing. Please accept our apologies if either of these happen to you and, if you want to enter a message but it won't allow you, feel free to email your message and the name / location you'd like put to the email on the home-page

We've found that the vast majority of Ashtead residents are overwhelmingly supportive of SSAFA, Headley Court, the Armed Forces and our campaign. The 90 or so objectors, and their attitudes, do not represent most Ashtead residents from everything we've seen. Please, in thanks to all those people, bear that in mind when posting!

Thank you to everyone who's helped achieve this wonderful result. We've known from the outset that the concerns raised were misplaced. SSAFA and the families concerned will now have the chance to prove that. We know they'll be more than equal to the task.

Oh, and thanks for all the fish

 Good to see common sense prevailed tonight. Well done to all involved.

And don't worry, the small number of small minded residents of Ashtead, I'm sure the visiting families will have more important things to worry about than to hold any kind of grudge.

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		Many years ago I spent some time at the medical rehab unit at Chessington (a similar facility to Headly Court, now closed) and appreciate the good work done at such places.

It's good to see that the councillors have approved the application. A triumph of decency and consideration for those willing to make sacrifices over the other sort of people.

Very best wishes.

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		I am very happy for your success.

The letters of objection are sad and disheartening, and it would have been very depressing if the council had not stood up to this organised minority, who epitomise me first culture. it is the hypocrisy of the objections that rankles so much, and the insinuation that the visiting families equate to itinerant guests injected into ( to their mind) a private little world.

Good luck to you.

 Weel done to all for getting a much needed resource agreed, as an ex army person myself I can not understand the small minded minority who opposed this.

I hope the project goes from strength to strength.

Well done.

E-mail: nospam@nospam.com 		Well done Blue team. Hopefully SSAFA will be able to get the modifications done soon and the families of injured personnel can begin to use the facilities. Also a big well done to the councillors for using common sense and ignoring the snobs.
