firstly to take carers’ concerns seriously when they advocate for their loved ones to ensure the care they are providing is safe for seriously disabled people who may not be able to advocate for themselves.” A spokesperson for Croydon Council said: “Our first thoughts are with Raihana’s family and we want to express our deepest condolences for their devastating loss “Raihana was placed at The Children’s Trust so she could receive 24-hour care for her complex needs and we worked to ensure Raihana’s mother was included in reviews her voice was heard and any concerns addressed and the assurances we received from the Trust it is clear that the care they provided fell below our expectations the Trust have changed their processes around staffing and one-to-one care and we will continue to work with them to ensure that lessons have been learned from this tragedy.” Hear all the latest news from across the UK on the hour, every hour, on Greatest Hits Radio on DAB, smartspeaker, at greatesthitsradio.co.uk, and on the Rayo app. Company number 01176085;

scheme at the Children’s Trust’s base in Tadworth will replace a single-storey school building made of lightweight prefabricated units which is no longer fit for purpose and coming to the end of its life Situated in the grounds of the Trust’s listed mansion house the four-block project will bring together education existing campus of residential and clinical buildings the scheme will be built around a central courtyard garden with each block having its own clear identity to help children orient themselves as their sensory experiences can differ greatly RCKa director Dieter Kleiner said: ‘The team at The Children’s Trust have been amazing; they put their faith in our ability to extract a brief from complex stakeholder engagement and to design them a new transdisciplinary building from first principles to meet the specific needs of the charity and children in their care.’ Work is expected to start on site this summer for completion in mid-2023 The charity takes a holistic approach to neuro-disability education and the new building will support their mission with a mix of bespoke facilities for specific services and flexible spaces to enhance learning and wellbeing for the young people at the heart of the charity’s purpose [Our] designs are the result of extensive consultation between the design team and different stakeholder groups and users across all stages of the process [We] worked closely with Farrer Huxley Landscape Architects who developed the richly textured designs for the landscape that will surround the building and foster a strong connection to nature The boundary between internal and external spaces will be fluid with landscape elements pushing into the heart of the building have external teaching terraces and key spaces such as the central hall and dining room can spill-out into an orchard landscape in warmer weather The transdisciplinary hub features a curved roof which rises to a point to highlight the entrance into the shared space whilst also hiding rooftop plant areas The classroom blocks have a sawtooth roof profile shaped to support the environmental strategy and create an easily recognisable silhouette that is of a more human scale Across the building simple materials are used in playful ways and texture are used in different scales across the building creating a variety of sensory experiences and playful details that children and young people can directly engage with The materials have been selected based upon research undertaken with the children and young people on site at The Children’s Trust Tags BDP’s College

newsletter we send out Kingswood’s best-known residents over the years have mainly been footballers including Danny Murphy Cricket legend turned TV personality Phil Tufnell and former Crystal Palace FC owner Simon Jordan have all also owned properties in the village A house in the village was also looked at by pop star and TV personality Peter Andre before he decided on a place in Walton-on-The-Hill instead Kingswood may not be home to the biggest names around unlike some other Surrey towns but along with a number of “well to do folk” it appears it’s become particularly popular for younger footballers in their early 20s head of office at Fine & Country Kingswood these Gen Z football stars are attracted to the village as they are “not quite so in the media’s eye” living there He added: “They are all looking for a little bit more - not just privacy but just something a little more discreet and I think that’s what Kingswood has always offered people “You don’t really drive through it, unlike Oxshott where you pop off the M25 or A3 “We’ve got these guys coming over here because they get these big houses and a sense of community that they’ve heard from others that are here “We’ve got Liverpool, Chelsea and Fulham players and they all seem to talk to one another and have a network connection and then we’ve also got a lot of agents that are now moving in here.” Many of the young players in the village are in the England national team set up and destined to become even bigger names over the next few years quieter villages like Kingswood would be more likely to attract an older head hoping to settle down with their family “That’s what’s changed dramatically – is that the younger football buyer is incredibly well managed and advised,” said Shaw “Its players coming out from London clubs like QPR Fulham and Charlton and moving to big clubs up the country but they’ve still got family down here.” “Funnily enough Kingswood gives them relative value for money against the Cobhams As for people outside the football sphere – the village has become an even more attractive option over the past year due to the pandemic – particularly for London buyers Shaw said: “Covid has escalated and changed life plans for a lot of people – whether it's early retirement or actually a bit more quality of life - because it wasn’t much fun in lockdown in a one and a half million-pound townhouse somewhere in London “Whereas one and a half million-pounds in Kingswood could buy you a very nice five-bedroom mansion with half an acre and that’s much more exciting “It’s less urgent to be in London at a desk at eight in the morning every day - it’s more important to have a better quality of life at home.” Kingswood had become an increasingly popular option for London and international buyers as well as local buyers “constantly moving around” With easy access to both airports and the capital Shaw said many people make the “strategic purchase” to move to the village and use it as a “jump board” for other nearby places you’ve pretty much got everything that you had in your immediate vicinity but in Kingswood you instead have it within a five-mile radius “They (new residents) probably don’t know much about Kingswood or Chipstead as an area As for the impressive properties that attract buyers ranging from 3,000 up to 15,000 square feet The seven-bedroom 14th-century manor house has five acres of land and features a private lake an underground pool complex and a tennis court After years of having to compete with more illustrious Surrey locations it seems as though Kingswood has finally caught up and is well and truly enjoying its place in the sun “It’s wonderful to see it now because we’ve talked and banged our drum for decades but now we have that strategic location that I think a lot of people are buying into,” said Shaw “If you’re coming from out of town and you drive down here it’s hard not to fall in love with it as it’s fairly idyllic But you just have to worry about how you afford it.” Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right The former Banstead Leisure Centre has now
