Hanging baskets will brighten up Surbiton’s shopping parades again this spring.

Streets which will receive the hanging basket treatment are Victoria Road (30), Claremont Road (16), Brighton Road (7), St Mark’s Hill (13), Tolworth Broadway on the M&S side of the street (19), Chiltern Drive (6), Ewell Road (16) and Berrylands (5).

Each hanging basket cost £78, bringing the total cost to £8,736.

The baskets are being paid for out of Surbiton neighbourhood committee councillors’ ward funding pot. The Radio Jackie side of Tolworth Broadway will get hanging baskets paid for by the South of the Borough neighbourhood committee.

Surbiton neighbourhood manager James Geach will have discretion – in consultation with the co-chairs of the committee – if any minor adjustments are needed to the numbers.

“I think it is a bit like the Christmas lights for me,” said co-chair of the committee Cllr Alison Holt. “I think it is a good thing. We have done it before and I think it will be nice to have a little bit of spring flowering in the various high streets and around our neighbourhoods.”
