The Common has been awarded its 18th consecutive Green Flag. This award recognises well managed parks and green spaces around the UK and is now becoming international. According to Epsom & Ewell Insight, Councillor Liz Frost, Chair of the EEBC Environment Committee said:
“Epsom Common is a beautiful and biodiverse space that is available for people, horse riders and cyclists and we’re incredibly proud to receive this award for an 18th consecutive year. This award is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of our volunteers and partners including the Epsom Common Association, the Lower Mole Partnership and Natural England. Thanks to staff and volunteers for continuing to provide a safe, green space for residents to enjoy.”

In 1974, Ted Dowman, a resident of The Wells, wrote a letter to a local newspaper complaining of motorists driving on the grass at Stamford Green. It struck a chord; others contacted him and the Epsom Common Association was formed. Remarkably it has survived until today, so we plan to celebrate the 50th anniversary.
The first event will be a talk at the Annual General Meeting (23rd April) on the story of the ECA. Among other plans, we hope to hold an exhibition on the same theme. We have a good amount of source material, but would be very grateful for photos, documents, memories, etc. concerning the past of the Common and the ECA. We will of course return any originals.
