MP helps plant tree to mark community hall’s 90th anniversary
An MP picked up a spade to help plant a tree to mark a community hall’s 90th anniversary last week.
Epsom’s MP Chris Grayling took part in a ceremony at Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall in Woodfield Lane, Ashtead, on Sunday October 6.
Jane Hiley, chairman of the hall’s trustees, said: "The hall was built in 1924 to commemorate the Peace following the First World War and has been managed by teams of trustees from the beginning.
"Through the generosity of many volunteers over the years it has flourished and become a central place to meet in Ashtead.
"Many people took part in the various events and displays which have happened during this year culminating in a special tea for invited guests and the tree planting ceremony."
