In brief Relief as toilet seat removed Firefighters got their hands squeaky clean in Ripley on Monday as they used washing up liquid to rescue a child with a toilet seat stuck on his head. A crew from Painshill was called to White Hart Meadows at 6.05pm to help the boy out of his unfortunate predicament. One firefighter said: “A bit of washing up liquid was used, and a bit of brute force.”
From beauty to tattoo parlour A BEAUTY parlour in Woking is due to be changed into a tattoo studio, after approval from the council. Officers granted the Change of Use Application for 103 Goldsworth Road on Wednesday. The premises will be allowed to open to customers between 9am to 7pm Mondays to Fridays, 9pm to 6pm on Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sundays and Bank or Public Holidays.
Fishing for advert answers THE appearance of an advert inviting offers for a Knaphill chippy caused confusion after owners insisted the shop was not for sale. An advert on the website Gumtree listed SkipJack’s as being for sale for £125,000 for the newly-decorated and newly-kitted out shop in the High Street. It caused surprise as Skipjack’s had been open for less than a year and villagers said they enjoyed its food. When the Woking Advertiser approached the Yorulmaz brothers, who own shops across the London area, to ask why they were selling up, they said the shop was not for sale and initially seemed surprised at the advert’s existence. Following Tuesday’s calls the advert was quickly removed from Gumtree. Murat Yorulmaz, who runs the Knaphill shop, blamed the confusion on having six brothers who run multiple shops. Brother, Inan, confirmed it was the Ruislip shop up for sale.
Small is beautiful in house that mirrors life in nursery By Rebecca Shepherd A WOMAN in Goldsworth Park who has devoted her life to working with children, has written a book and created a replica dolls house of the first residential nursery she ever worked in. Barbara Hadlow manufactured the 4ft creation around 10 to 12 years ago after she said she wanted to remember Hitchen Hatch Residential Nursery and how it was in the 1950s, when she started working there at the tender age of 16. “I added all the doors, windows and staircases to the house,” Miss Hadlow said. “There is an aga in it like there was in that era and there are children even with clothes. I had to knit them jumpers.” The toy model of the nursery is complete with eight rooms, curtains, four landings, a rocking horse and even the board game Scrabble. The 74-year-old said: “I can always add bits to it, so it is never really finished although I am happy with it.” Leaving her family behind in Whitstable to work at the residential nursery in Sevenoaks, Miss Hadlow said she was ‘as homesick as could be’. “I first went there in 1956 and I wanted to come home,” she said. “I remember asking the nanny if I could have my days off together to give me
time to go home. I remember she told me: ‘No, you have to stay here for two weeks otherwise you will go home, and won’t come back.’. “I remember when I eventually did come home, I had it in my head that I would convince everyone that I was having fun and enjoying it.” But by the time Miss Hadlow returned to the nursery, she had convinced herself working with children was her calling. She said: “I found I really was happy, and it just went from there.” At the aged of 26, Miss Hadlow who had already devoted a decade of her life to making a difference to children in need of love, security and reassurance, was in charge of a residential nursery in East London for eightand-a-half-years. “I always wanted to work with children and I think this was because I came from a big family – I was the middle of seven,” Miss Hadlow said. But it was in the early 1970s when Mrs Hadlow was working in Chelmsford, that residential nurseries started to decline. “It was quite difficult when they started to close down. The nursery was a place where the children lived 24 seven along with the staff but we were always very careful to make sure the children were institutionalised.” Miss Hadlow moved to Woking Borough in July 1976.
Pictures: Grahame Larter WK151706 “I was settling a family in Holland at the time, but I didn’t want to stay because I heard about a job in Woking,” she said. “I came back and I was then in charge of Highlands Nursery. Although that closed in 1981 and I then moved to Goldsworth Park.”
Barbara Hadlow with her book Making a Difference and the dolls house she has lovingly recreated over the past 10 to 12 years. This was when Miss Hadlow decided to write her book, Making a Difference a lifetime in childcare, which provides an insight into the vanished world of the resi-
dential nursery. She said: “At that time, I started writing a chapter of my book and I also did child minding and looked after foster, many pre-adoption
and social need babies. I also adopted my daughter. “I wrote the book because residential nurseries are no more. Now, they are a thing of the past. They are history.”
Schools set to share in £370m E duca t ional establishments in Woking will receive a share of £370m in government grants awarded nationally. On Thursday March 26, David Laws the Minister of State for Schools announced that 1,366 projects across 1,039 academies and sixthform colleges were successful in their bids for funding. In Woking, Beaufort Primary School, The Hermitage School, Horsell Village School, St John’s Primary School, Sythwood Primary School, Woking College and Woking High School will benefit from a portion of the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). With this funding, Beaufort Primary School in Kirkland Avenue will re-roof the main school buildings and the replace windows and doors in the Early Years area. Asbestos will be removed and the roof coverings and boiler will be replaced in Sythwood Primary School, and The Hermitage School, in Oakwood Road, will have new roofing works and replacement of boilers and heating.
New windows and a flat roof will be replaced in Horsell Village School and the canteen area in Woking College will be improved. The share of the pot will also grant a replacement water supply to a classroom block in The Oaktree School, and St John’s Primary School will benefit from the renewal of a flat felt roof covering, roof lights and rainwater outlets. The fund will also mean asbestos in Woking High School will be enclosed by a new fascia board. Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Woking, Chris Took said: “This money is absolutely fantastic news for children, parents and teachers in Woking, and I am delighted that Liberal Democrat ministers have listened to our case. “It is much harder for teachers to teach and for children to learn when they are stuck in school buildings that aren’t up to scratch. “Investing in Woking schools will give more of our local young people the opportunity to get the first class education they deserve.”
‘I’ll print train noise leaflets’ A COUNCILLOR has offered to print and distribute letters for Network Rail, advising residents about engineering works, after he was unexpectedly woken up to the sound of ‘heavy pneumatic drilling’ in the early hours of Wednesday. Councillor Liam Lyons, for Mount Hermon West, has described the relationship between Network Rail – the authority responsible for the UK’s railway network – and residents, as a ‘constant battle’. He said: “I live fairly near to the station and when I see workers there, they seem faceless. As soon as you get to know the manager or project worker, they change. So it’s difficult to build up a relationship with people. “At 3am I was woken to heavy pneumatic drilling for about an hour. I just thought ‘oh no not again’, as it happens a lot. The last scheduled
train is the Southampton central at around 12.30 at night. I’m not too sure why they waited until later to start the works.” Cllr Lyons said this is not the first time that work had taken place unannounced. He said: “I have actually offered to print or post letters and notices warning residents that there will be planned work to the railway, just in case Network Rail is unsure what houses or flats to drop them off to. I don’t know whether they will take me up on that though.” A spokesperson for Network Rail said: “The work that took place overnight on Tuesday was emergency works, required at late notice. This unfortunately meant we were unable to give residents advance notice, as we would normally. We’d like to apologise for any disturbance caused, and thank them for their understanding.”
