There are still some people who are unaware that the small car park behind Holly Parade is no longer a free car park. This is the car park which is accessed via the small access road between Boots the Chemist and Evie Likes Toast. The owners have introduced Pay & Display and are patrolling it regularly which has caught a number of people out and landed them with a £90 fine.

The Cobham Chamber of Commerce organised an extra duck race on Heritage Day this year. Twenty ducks were sponsored and represented participating Cobham businesses. The winning duck was called "Jedi Duck" and the lucky business was the Harlequin Dry Cleaners based at the junction of Anyards Road and the High Street.

The big ducks who took part in the race were also the focus of attention for an earlier "hunt the duck" competition. Competition participants had to fill in a form with the name of the duck displayed in the window of each of the twenty businesses. Each competition entry cost just a pound. Three winners were drawn after the duck race and have already been contacted regarding their prize.

The Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the following businesses for taking part.
