Is Late Night Noise in Epsom Out of Control?
Tony Axelrod, a resident living in the centre of Epsom, says that late night and early morning noise and disturbance in Epsom town centre is out of control. Though he has been patiently working with the borough council's Environmental Health staff, the Police and looking at the current licensing arrangements, he fears that there are just not sufficient resources put into what has become a real health problem and one which is affecting the quality of life of hundreds of residents.

Trident trouble for Fox
With massive spending cuts being forced on the coalition government by Labour's financial mismanagement, particular care needs to be taken that no area is left unexamined by the need to ensure expenditure is rationalised. Yet Conservative Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, still seems fixated by the need for a replacement to the Trident missile submarine system, at a cost likely to be well in excess of the current estimate of £20 billion. It seems he was preparing a defence review which omits any discussion of the need to cut the program - given its dubious benefits and lack of relevance to current defence needs - yet Liberal Democrats have been successful in forcing the coalition to put the cost of a Trident replacement back in the defence budget where it belongs, rather than being met from general Treasury funding. If he is serious about making savings, then these should start with this outdated piece of cold war kit.
