Ashtead Village Pharmacy Has Been Approved!
Congratulations to Abdool
His application to open a Pharmacy in The Old Barclays Bank on The Street, Ashtead has been accepted by Surrey PCT (Primary Care Trust).
This is the first very important stage of getting the contract.
There is now a 28 day period of consideration when others who are concerned/effected can appeal.
Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign.
We will keep you informed of any further developments.

Congratulations. Common sense at last!
Having read your previous comment by ‘anonymous’ regarding Lloyds in Craddocks Parade, I would like to add my own thoughts… perhaps now the ‘Upper Ashtead’ people, who seem intent on sub-dividing Ashtead into two, have got their pharmacy approved they would like to apologise to the employees in Lloyds in ‘Lower Ashtead’ for all the verbal abuse they have had to suffer for the past two years, as though they personally were responsible for the lack of a pharmacy in The Street.
99.9% of the time they have accepted the criticism, anger and just downright rudeness with a smile and a complete willingness to bend over backwards to make up for the lack of a pharmacy in The Street – and only a handful of folk ever thank them! And this despite the fact that people have CHOSEN to go in there to have their prescription dispensed yet STILL verbally abuse the staff!
It will be interesting to see what happens in this regard.
Hi
I drive through Ashtead on a Monday morning bi-weekly and love to see the flags adorned from the local businesses however I have noticed that many of the Union Flags are flying upside down which is considered ‘lèse majesté’ or Insulting the Crown.
Could you encourage shop owners to correct the error of their ways?
